We stand in solidarity against racism and violence. When members of our community hurt, we all hurt. We’re pledging $1M in support of efforts to address social injustice.

Standing means you are not moving.

Clean up the racism and violence that you spread, which has fueled their spread. https://t.co/9HfIWvM0e2
You give $1M EVERY DAY to white supremacists monetizing their channels, while providing them the perfect platform. You have the right and power to ban them but so far have chosen not to. Your pocket change is not real change, do better. https://t.co/Bea5JEfj2H

Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. As a platform that has done its very best to avoid having to remove any videos from racists, white supremacists and hate mongers, you should be ashamed of even tweeting about this. Too little, too late.https://t.co/ABKLKGypBc

How about you just enforce your own fucking rules and start deplatforming white supremacists *from your own platform.* Again and again you talk a big game and turn around and hand white supremacy a network to build its ranks. Everyone sees right through you.
— Erin Biba (@erinbiba) May 30, 2020
Does this also mean you’re going to purge tons of videos from your site that glorify white supremacy and violence against Black people?
— Bishop Talbert Swan (@TalbertSwan) May 30, 2020
If not, your money is an empty gesture. https://t.co/pE16hyIM6b
Bullshit. You’re a platform of organization for vile racist content and your biggest cash cow was out there looting and hijacking a peaceful movement for his own gain. The money you donate isn’t enough to undo the shit you’ve done.

Your algorithm specifically promotes racist alt-right content because you know that enragement = engagement. You profit off of hate and anger.
— Geraldine (@everywhereist) May 31, 2020
Don't for a damn second pretend you care about social injustice. And $1M for you is a goddamn joke.
Does this mean you’re finally going to enforce your TOS and ban drama tubers that harass & attack other YouTube community members? ?

You'll make much more of an impact by deplatforming white supremacists and removing their infectious content. It's tearing this country apart.
— David Chartier (@chartier) May 30, 2020
This statement & that money means nothing if you're still allowing racists space on your site to spout their hatred. Deplatform them, partnered or not.
— ?????? ♡ (@simplyundrea) May 30, 2020
Awesome to see how much positive feedback you’re getting from donating about half a day’s income without specifics when it took you years to do enforce your rules with white supremacists Richard Spencer, David Duke, Jared Taylor or Red Ice.

Stop grooming white and male supremacists with your algorithm. That would do a lot more good and actually hurt your pockets.

— Jimmy Thomson (@jwsthomson) May 31, 2020
YouTube makes countless millions off of promoting white supremacist content to its users, and then has the nerve to toss a few pennies to "address social injustice." This company does not deserve to exist, and should be publicly owned by the people who create its content. https://t.co/gx64lkxrm3
— Carlos Maza ? (@gaywonk) May 30, 2020
Or maybe just don’t host or promote white supremacist content. Crazy idea, I know.

Major companies are often wary of conflict, especially in a polarized time. But in the wake of the death of George Floyd, some are taking a stand on racial injustice and police violence. https://t.co/plQqWTq0mV
