YouTube video removals soar as software enforces rules

Slightly more than 11.4 million videos were pulled from the popular online platform, nearly double the number removed in the first three months of the year, setting a new quarterly record for the Google-owned company.

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," realizing 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.
