Temporarily?
Came here to say this. WTF
Last year, Rolling Stone reported dozens of videos that were “flagrant” policy violations being monetized on the platform, with one research firm accusing YouTube of “cashing in on misogyny, racism, and targeted harassment.”
Which comes as no surprise.
Meanwhile they demonetized videos from Veritasium and Rose Anvil because they had the audacity to post factual history lessons about World War II.
Pretty regularly, they catch fertility doctors performing eugenics based procedures without patient consent. Like with shocking regularity.
Also, it isn’t super uncommon for male fertility doctors to substitute their own semen instead of the correct material that the patient(s) provided.
Evil people go into these jobs because it gives them the power to push their own agenda without much oversight, and by the time someone can make a claim against them, and is believed by anyone else, they can move on.
Uh. Source needed.
Here’s one, there’s more
Pretty regularly
it’s not super uncommon
Those are statements of frequency. Not one off “it has happened once, or a couple times, in modern history”
Much better, thank you!
The first book I read about this was Killing the Black Body, which detailed how slave bodies were handled (physically and by society) and then how that progressed into the eugenics movement that is still alive and well today.
From there it was just noticing it in the news whenever it comes up. Which is why I was hinging my statements on the frequency. I haven’t done any analysis, it just hits the news often enough that I’m disgusted.
Thanks to Thallamanond and Nathaniel for providing specific sources.
What in the world ?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The video that YouTube removed was titled “If Aborting Black Males Isn’t The Solution, What Is?”
According to YouTube, the removed video violated the platform’s hate speech policy, which prohibits content that promotes violence or hatred against individuals based on protected attributes, including claims that groups or individuals are mentally inferior based on attributes such as race.
YouTube specifically prohibits ads from running alongside content that discriminates, disparages, or seeks to humiliate an individual or group of people, including on the basis of race.
It seems likely that Cynthia G will have to remove the remaining videos that were demonetized if the channel plans to reapply for the Partner Program.
The videos that YouTube demonetized and removed this week were seemingly monetized for more than a year on the platform.
