YouTube said it opted to"cast a wider net so that the most content that could potentially harm the community would be quickly removed" AFP/LIONEL BONAVENTURESAN FRANCISCO: YouTube said Tuesday that video removals soared in the second quarter of this year as the company relied more on software to enforce content rules to protect workers from COVID-19.
The video-streaming site said it opted to"cast a wider net so that the most content that could potentially harm the community would be quickly removed", realising that without humans making judgment calls, some videos that don't actually violate policies would be taken down. For decisions on removing content such as violent extremism and child safety, YouTube tolerated a lower level of accuracy that resulted in a tripling of the number of videos pulled for breaking those rules, the report said.About a third of all the videos removed in the quarter were done so for endangering child safety, with such content including dares or challenges to do things that could get them hurt.
