Google to start limiting viewability of content not against it's TOS
 

All you hateful racist homophobic xenophobic redhats are in for a surprise :321GFY :banana

You can post it, but most won't be able to see it :1orglaugh

"Google will begin enforcing tougher standards on videos that could be deemed objectionable, but are not illegal, in the coming weeks. The company said that YouTube videos flagged as inappropriate that contain ?controversial religious or supremacist content?, but that do not breach the company?s policies on hate speech or violent extremism will be placed in a ?limited state""

Google says AI better than humans at scrubbing extremist YouTube content.

Google has pledged to continue developing advanced programs using machine learning to combat the rise of extremist content, after it found that it was both faster and more accurate than humans in scrubbing illicit content from YouTube.

The company is using machine learning along with human reviewers as part of a mutli-pronged approach to tackle the spread of extremist and controversial videos across YouTube, which also includes tougher standards for videos and the recruitment of more experts to flag content in need of review.

A month after announcing the changes, and following UK home secretary Amber Rudd?s repeated calls for US technology firms to do more to tackle the rise of extremist content, Google?s YouTube has said that its machine learning systems have already made great leaps in tackling the problem.

A YouTube spokesperson said: ?While these tools aren?t perfect, and aren?t right for every setting, in many cases our systems have proven more accurate than humans at flagging videos that need to be removed.

?Our initial use of machine learning has more than doubled both the number of videos we?ve removed for violent extremism, as well as the rate at which we?ve taken this kind of content down. Over 75% of the videos we?ve removed for violent extremism over the past month were taken down before receiving a single human flag.?

One of the problems YouTube has in policing its site for illicit content is that users upload 400 hours of content every minute, making filtering out extremist content in real time an enormous challenge that only an algorithmic approach is likely to manage, the company says.

YouTube also said that it had begun working with 15 more NGOs and institutions, including the Anti-Defamation League, the No Hate Speech Movement, and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue in an effort to improve the system?s understanding of issues around hate speech, radicalisation and terrorism to better deal with objectionable content.

Google will begin enforcing tougher standards on videos that could be deemed objectionable, but are not illegal, in the coming weeks. The company said that YouTube videos flagged as inappropriate that contain ?controversial religious or supremacist content?, but that do not breach the company?s policies on hate speech or violent extremism will be placed in a ?limited state?.

A YouTube spokesperson said: ?The videos will remain on YouTube behind an interstitial, won?t be recommended, won?t be monetised, and won?t have key features including comments, suggested videos, and likes.?

YouTube has also begun redirecting searches with certain keywords to playlists of curated videos that confront and debunk violent extremist messages, as parts of its effort to help prevent radicalisation.

Google plans to continue developing the machine learning technology and to collaborate with other technology companies to tackle online extremism.

YouTube is the world?s largest video hosting service and is one of the places extremist and objectionable content ends up, even if it originates and is removed from other services, including Facebook, making it a key battleground.

Big-name brands, including GSK, Pepsi, Walmart, Johnson & Johnson, the UK government and the Guardian pulled millions of pounds of advertising from YouTube and other social media properties after it was found their ads were placed next to extremist content.

I wonder how soon will it (AI) realize that all it needs to do is get rid of people in general.

99.9% of what is/was/will be labled "extremist" will simply be "not in line with with my fragile view on things".

The truth is, you're wrong :winkwink:

Most people don't want to watch hateful assholes be hatefull assholes :2 cents:

Make a YouTube clone in your motherland Russia and compete with hate videos to your hearts desire :1orglaugh

If it doesn't break their terms then why do they care? It sounds like an additional layer of censorship.

Evidently the British are putting pressure on American platforms.

"A month after announcing the changes, and following UK home secretary Amber Rudd?s repeated calls for US technology firms to do more to tackle the rise of extremist content, Google?s YouTube has said that its machine learning systems have already made great leaps in tackling the problem."

Google is a private business they can censor commercial speech.

Capital will always follow demand ...

generally, when i dont want to watch something, i dont watch it.
i don't need my hand held or to be protected from it.



yes yes... everyone you disagree with is a russian. i get it.

^^^ haha Youtube vid ^^^ TRIGGERED!

The truth is, Russia severly limits freedom of speech, censors the internet and jails dissidence, as does China.

YouTube isn't a public service, it's a business that chooses what exists on it's platform. You don't have a right to be seen on YouTube.

Just doing what Sweden have done. When Muslims pour in by the hundreds of thousand and start raping your woman and children, cause riots and turn areas of your country into no go zones, just ban anyone from talking about it. That will make the problem go away. Crazy world we live in these days

It's called m-o-n-e-y.
Big advertisers complained their ads were being put next to 'objectionable material'.

So in the future only giant corporations will determine, based solely on economics, which type of video or free speech is "objectionable".

In five years YouTube will be nothing more than a giant ad/commercial network for companies pushing their products. Or, in other words, like a glorified cable tv channel.

Fun!!

No.

People can buy a domain put all the hate speech they want on it.

People should pay for their own hate if they want to spew it.
Don't ask youtube and it's advertiser to pay for it.

Free speech : When someone else is paying for it then it ain't free.

:1orglaugh

Pro-gay material was extremist in the 1980s.

Who is Google to place limitations on what society sees? I would guess the deep state is secretly forcing their hand in doing this.

Why are you lying?

I think YouTube should give advertisers the option of having their ads on "hate speech" videos.

I think YouTube shouldn't be forced by you to host hate speech videos.

Bunch of pornographers cheering on censorship, that's some good comedy there. :1orglaugh

That would be a bad move as Sweden is finding out.

Inalienable Rights:

"Natural rights are those that are not dependent on the laws or customs of any particular culture or government, and therefore universal and inalienable (i.e., rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws)."

If you take away rights for some, then in effect you've taken away rights for all.

I am completely 100% for freedom of speech and I believe it is one of the most important privileges that being an American citizen offers.

As long as I agree with it, of course. If not, as far as I'm concerned, you have no right to free speech. And I hope you're fined and put in jail to rot there until the day you die.

In the case of Youtube, censorship is good because I think its now pretty well established and agreed on that 9-11 happened because someone clicked on a Youtube link back in 2001 and became indoctrinated by hate speech. I just fail to see why its taken Google 16 years to get off its dead ass and do something about speech I don't agree with.

Save us, Google-Wan Kenobi. You're our only hope.

Accusing Google of stalking you, and Facebook of violating your privacy = anti-semitic hate speech.

"Hate speech" = anything white people say that is critical of Jews. I'm sure some of it is genuinely hateful, but they've politicized it to a ridiculous extent.

Free speech is already under threat. Try to find a cartoon of Allah or Mo.

Don't forget the muslims. Obama couldn't use the words Islamic Terrorist.

When a man kills in the name of Allah, that's Islamic.

Wrong.

I host what I want in my servers. I don't want anyone forcing me to host what I don't want. YouTube shouldn't be forced to host what they don't want.

What is so difficult to understand? It's not about censoring , it's about YouTubes right as a business to publish what they want.

Comedy is implying that porn would be censored if it's not on youtube.

Finally, Justice for TN's videos being yanked!
