YouTube鈥檚 Neo-Nazi Problem
YouTube is struggling to police a huge volume of neo-Nazi music on its platform 鈥� music which clearly violates its terms and conditions. The company says it鈥檚 trying to do better.
A 大象传媒 Trending investigation has found huge inconsistencies in how YouTube deals with neo-Nazi hate music. These are songs which use extreme violent language and imagery to advocate murder and violence against minority groups.
Many of the hate music videos are from punk and hardcore bands active in the 80s and 90s 鈥� but they found a new life on the internet.
Natalia Zuo explains how the 大象传媒 Trending team carried out an experiment to put YouTube鈥檚 reporting systems to the test.
