YouTube, the world’s largest video platform, appears to have changed its moderation policies to allow more content that violates its own rules to remain online.

    “Your claim is only valid if you first run this elaborate, long-term experiment that I came up with.”

    The world isn’t binary. When someone says less moderation, they don’t mean no moderation. Framing it as all-or-nothing just misrepresents their view to make it easier for you to argue against. CSAM is illegal, so it’s always going to be against the rules - that’s not up to Google and is therefore a moot point.

    As for other content you ideologically oppose, that’s your issue. As long as it’s not advocating violence or breaking the law, I don’t see why they’d be obligated to remove it. You’re free to think they should - but it’s their platform, not yours. If they want to allow that kind of content, they’re allowed to. If you don’t like it, don’t go there.

      No, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying your claim is nonsense and if you want a proof, you can run an experiment. Do it or don’t do it, your choice. Just don’t expect people who have an experience in running an instance to agree with you.
