YouTube's new hate speech and cyberbullying policies

[CatParty]

 

[Golly]

There go the cringe videos.

 

[Dr. Meme]

there goes literally every youtube comment

 

[AnOminous]

There goes every minute of every employee's time as every single video and comment are reported 24/7 and the only thing left on YouTube are cat videos, until people decide those are all animal abuse and report them, too.

Wait, when did YouTube get bought out by SJWs?

That would mean they'd just shut it down entirely.

Luckily for us YouTube has consistently proven to do jack shit about everything that doesn't involve copyright laws.

Their advertisers are bitching.

Economic forces are now making it impossible for you to openly criticise a religion or refuse to use an otherkin's retarded pronoun.

That must be what this was about:

[Pikonic]

We encourage free speech

Lol k

So a rule that's vague and allows Youtube to essentially remove whatever it wants under the guise of trying to make a better environment for everyone. Rules like these are pretty bad because nobody can really agree on what's hate speech and what's criticism. Brianna Wu is already demanding her twitter followers report anything viewed as hate speech to "test" youtube's enforcement. I bring up Wu because she's a good example of someone who has a very sensitive notion of what hate speech is. If youtube follows that same notion then a lot of people are fucked. If they don't then Wu and other people like her, tumblrinas/SJWs/neckbeards with weird fetishes/whatever, will become as loud as possible about it. I've never seen a "no hate speech" rule in large communities not cause more harm than good.

So yeah, I'm pretty excited about all the youtube fights that are going to start. We just need to make sure we have all Chris's video copied and somewhere safe for backups and youtube could fucking consume itself in a pathetic civil war for all I care.

This ought to go well.

I know they are a private website and they can do whatever the fuck they want with it but I think they were fine before.

 

[The Jumping Dwarf]

I swear to God, if they really do get rid of the Cringe Comps...

Even Chris videos could get removed thanks to this rule.

Economic forces will create a market for a site that has policies that aren't total bullshit, too.

Daily Motion and Vimeo have been on that for a while now. Plus they're not as shitty about copyright bullshit.

 

[AnimuGinger]

Potential for abuse = 110%

Momentum is the largest economic force for content sites though. Users don't want to go where creators aren't, and creators don't want to go where users aren't.

 

[ASoulMan]

Potential for abuse = 200%

Let me fix that for you.

 

[L desu]

Potential for abuse = over 9000%

Fixed that for ya.
