YouTube Censors Everyone: Feminists, LGBT Vloggers, Pundits and Gamers | Heat Street: "YouTube has caved in to calls for content restrictions and censorship on its platform, implementing an optional new feature called “restricted mode”.
It’s designed to censor indecent material — the kind that advertisers do not wish to be associated with.
According to Google, the optional feature “uses community flagging, age-restrictions, and other signals to identify and filter out potentially inappropriate content.”
It’s a feature that’s been around for at least a year, but YouTube producers haven’t been feeling the hurt until now.
Since YouTube ramped up the mode’s restrictions, several LGBT bloggers discovered that their content was blocked, and accused the platform of hiding their videos." 'via Blog this'
