>As YouTube deployed machine learning technology over the past month, the number of videos removed has more than doubled, as has the rate of removal. "With over 400 hours of content uploaded to YouTube every minute, finding and taking action on violent extremist content poses a significant challenge," YouTube says.
>"Systems have proven more accurate than humans at flagging videos that need to be removed," the YouTube team says in the post.
>The site's program of “Trusted Flaggers,” human experts who help spot problem videos, has been bolstered by cooperation from 15 more non-governmental organizations including the Anti-Defamation League, the No Hate Speech Movement, and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.

>New standards will be applied to videos that are not illegal but users have flagged by users "as potential violations of our policies on hate speech and violent extremism," YouTube says. Those videos may remain on the site, but will not be recommended, make money from ads or have comments.
>"Altogether, we have taken significant steps over the last month in our fight against online terrorism. But this is not the end. We know there is always more work to be done," the company said.

Last month we were being lectured by these people about how net neutrality is important. This month they're telling us that hate speech is online terrorism that needs to be censored. Online. Fucking. Terrorism. That's right. Posting a video that makes Jews feel bad is the same as going into a public park and detonating a bomb. Even if your video doesn't violate any of YouTube's rules, if their algorithm doesn't like your opinions then you'll be censored and branded an "online terrorist."
