This doesn't bode well for the free exchange of information.

The article states "If we [Google] find that these videos don’t violate our policies but contain controversial religious or supremacist content, they will be placed in a limited state."

If their AI filtered out all islamist material, I'd be happy. But "controversial religious or supremacist content" most likely means 1) Christianity and 2) Conservative thought and discourse.

They are not better than humans. The “robots” are programs that run all the time! There is no human who devotes all his/her/its time to finding offensive videos. So of f*cking course, the bleeding “robots” are going to do a better job than humans.

Bingo.

Note how they progress on the slipper slope from extremist content to violent extremist content. Anarcho Capitalists, Amish, Alt-Right could all be labeled extremists. But they are not violent.

Palestinian Terrorists are supported by a majority of UN delegates. So, by definition they are not extremists.

A big mistake is made by not clarifying the difference between those two types of people and groups of people.

Yes, there is overlap between the two groups. But there is also overlap between male and each of those groups, and between many other factors.

"If we [Google] find that these videos don’t violate our policies but contain controversial religious or supremacist content, they will be placed in a limited state."

As was done to Dennis Prager and some of his content from Prager University. You know Dennis, a real whacko extremist guy. /s

What ‘rules’ have they programmed their bots to use? Something like: illegal alien = extreme, islamic terrorist = extreme, MAGA = extreme, etc.

Their AI is automated narrative enforcement trained to be politically correct.

What is the alternative to youtube?

Old, white guys, too.

Anti-Trust the hell out of Google.

This doesn’t bode well for the future of You Tube. If they’re going to censor conservative speech then conservatives will need to go elsewhere.

“Violent” extremist videos from...which side of the coin? I’m thinking that not many Loony Lefty/BLM/Antifa/Occupy/Anti-Trump/Muslim videos are getting blocked.

Google can take a photo you upload at their search site and match it if it is on the internet. They should be able to block images showing up in a search or better yet report images to the police and the feds for example what Bill Clinton likes to do to children let alone terrorist jihad videos.

Google is determined to be our overlords.

I hope their robots remove click-bait phony thumbnails (that never appear in the video) from youtube. They have a video about cutting down trees and the thumbnail features a nearly naked woman holding a chainsaw. The actual person in the video is someone's grandpa.
