No matter how harmful the videos it hosts, YouTube can’t be held responsible for any user-generated content because of an increasingly controversial legal protection called Section 230. https://t.co/ttUsRg51Hh pic.twitter.com/k3tPYF5m3E

Youtube has always maintained that it is a platform that hosts users. Susan Wojcicki defends Youtube's decision to take down (or not take down) certain videos as well as the protection the company has under section 230. https://t.co/quNbPUlyF2

Please watch tonight’s @60Minutes tonight to see @SusanWojcicki try to defend @YouTube’s historically awful decision-making regarding hate on the platform.

Today, @TeamYouTube refused to suspend a channel that talked about a “Jew Coup” by “seditious Jews.” Indefensible. https://t.co/g4ee8L2tMm
The look In her eyes when it’s suggested that they should be held accountable is hilarious.

So we are supposed to take their word for it that their new algorithm reduces suggested bad content by 70%? I smell bullshit. https://t.co/fYQ8zUrgoE
How does YouTube determine what videos are too hateful or violent for the site? The company’s CEO showed 60 Minutes some examples. https://t.co/s6KtiDF9qF pic.twitter.com/uJVYfNXptU

I came up with the “X hours of video uploaded every minute” stat over 10 years ago at the now-shuttered Applebee’s by YouTube HQ in San Bruno.

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki tries to police the site while maintaining an open platform. But the company’s commitment to free speech can lead to a narrow definition of what videos are considered harmful. https://t.co/xdCP0J2y46 pic.twitter.com/zzvhESxZ2i

“We have 500 hours of video uploaded every single minute to YouTube.”

YouTube has gone from a place for old TV clips and zany videos to a global content hub, the world’s top jukebox, and mankind’s largest “how-to” collection.https://t.co/d1jWRY4ioK pic.twitter.com/FqHTFlnzJ9
is there a good reason why @YouTube can’t implement a delay between when those 500 hours are uploaded and when they’re broadcast? Doing small things to keep videos of death and child rape off the site wouldn’t hurt free speech... https://t.co/Ech9A3cou7

This 60 Minutes segment about YouTube focused a little on the platform's role in misinformation and hate. But it was framed more like a profile of CEO Susan Wojcicki, which softened the whole thing. A win for Google PR. https://t.co/IiWNFACSml
