These guys are organizing to legitimize violence against POC, and @YouTube is reinstating them. Cowardice at its clearest. https://t.co/xiVzSBaDLY #ChangeTheTerms

Ha, wow: “Update: Shortly after this story was published, YouTube deleted Infowars' War Room channel.”
— Martin SFP Bryant (@MartinSFP) August 29, 2019
As with all platforms, @YouTube needs to make the details public of how it will decide what is, and is not, "false and extremist content". Transparency is key to good decisions and trust. https://t.co/a5zRQGDlgQ

YouTube allowing InfoWars back on the platform as part of a "commitment to openness" and then immediately taking it down for violating TOS after Vice ran a story about it is, truly, a modern parable https://t.co/BmaXpskL67

"YouTube [testing] algorithm change to reduce the spread of what it calls “borderline content” in the UK, after a similar trial in the US resulted in a substantial drop in views."https://t.co/otc20gt0rn
Two months after joining with tech companies to commit to the Christchurch Call To Action to fight hatred and extremism, YouTube says it was a mistake to remove the channel of the guy who’s under investigation for his links to the Christchurch terrorist.https://t.co/NgqYJwMHvc

Hi @YouTube,
— Simran Jeet Singh (@SikhProf) August 29, 2019
This is white privilege and white supremacy.
Only people who haven’t experiences hate could say that being exposed to hate "makes us a stronger and more informed society.”
Hate doesn’t make us better. It makes us worse. #EndHatehttps://t.co/KpEBWPqh7R

Susan Wojcicki has decided to ignore the hate Youtube has allowed to radicalize and fester on their site. All while silencing Queer voices and allowing algorithms to link to disgusting videos.
