YouTube Removes Over 100K Videos Under New Hate Speech Rules

YouTube has flagged over 100,000 videos and terminated 17,000 channels under its updated hate speech policies, which ban extremist ideologies and certain conspiracy theories. The platform uses a combination of human reviewers and technology, including digital fingerprints, to detect prohibited content. Significant investments in automated detection systems have increased the termination of channels violating spam policies. Over 10,000 Google employees are involved in content review, and YouTube plans to release more information on promoting a positive environment.

What was the impact of the update to YouTube's spam detection systems in 2019?

What future plans does YouTube have regarding promoting a positive environment on its platform?
