YouTube removes almost 2 mn videos in crackdown; shockingly machines flagged 93% of them
YouTube is one of the best online video-sharing platforms for the young, the old, and everything in between. However, there are many bad actors present on the platform and these entities spoil the experience of the common user and even cause harm. Now, in a crackdown, YouTube informs that between January and March 2023, it has removed over 1.9 million videos for violating YouTube's Community Guidelines. This was done as per the YouTube's Community Guidelines Enforcement guidelines.
During the same period, YouTube took action elsewhere too. Here are the highlights of video removal activity globally:
YouTube says, over the years, it has invested heavily in the policies and products needed to protect the YouTube users. It says that educational efforts are successful in reducing the number of creators who unintentionally violate our policies. YouTube lets these infringers of rules know they have violated rules by giving a one-time warning for a first policy violation. This provides creators the chance to review what went wrong before facing more penalties. The result has been exceptional as over 80% of creators who receive a warning never violate policies again.
Taking the initiative further, YouTube says it is taking another step that it says will benefit millions of creators and at the same time, preserve the policies and systems that protect the community. Starting today, creators will have the option of taking an educational training course when they receive a Community Guidelines warning. These resources will provide new ways for creators to understand how they can avoid uploading content that violates our policies in the future.
