Refusing to moderate/fact-check politician speech shouldn't be applauded. And painting such policies under the guise of protecting free speech is a clever but bullshit PR excuse to avoid more thoughtful solutions. Moderation doesn't have to be binary.https://t.co/5CoMPaP2z0

"YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said today that content by politicians would stay up on the video-sharing website even if it violates the company's standards, echoing a position staked out by Facebook this week." https://t.co/CSzSERtrks

因みに、なぜ彼のYouTubeがバンされないのか、と一部で話題になっていましたが、奇しくも数日前に、YouTubeのCEOが政治家のコンテンツはどのみち報道もされるだろうし、有権者が判断できるよう、バンしないと発言している。これはFacebookやTwitterの対応に合わせてのもの。https://t.co/YvrzwYlwbP
