Early 2019, Youtube executive members were facing this profound question to its platform – should the content that goes through its system be controlled and moderated?<\/i><\/b>
\nFreedom of expression and people\u2019s rights to be on grounded neutrality are beginning to shift from the issues that it faced recently.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe YouTube CEO, Susan Wojcicki, remarked that for this problem to be resolved, she has two goals conflicting with each other.\u00a0<\/span>
\nIt is to avoid ideological bias while taking into consideration the company\u2019s values.<\/b>
\nFor this reason, a new policy has been drafted which states that videos which show historical \u201cdenialism\u201d and have <\/span>\u201dsupremacist\u201d views<\/span><\/a> will be banned.<\/span>
\nTech companies hired thousands to take on and make sure about the subtle implications of speech. YouTube also take into account hiring anonymous \u201craters\u201d to evaluate video contents and make adjustments to its suggestion system. <\/span>
\nHowever, the flood of posts that expressed doubt on the effectiveness of these “human filters” was massive. This resulted in YouTube moderators having chronic <\/span>mental health issues<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
\nTo help fix the issue, Google and Facebook have now taken the role \u201cCensors-in-Chief.\u201d These tech companies strive to regulate and sift through the contents regarding societal norms such as teens being exposed to graphic images like <\/span>the Holocaust.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>
\nAs Youtube has put it, both will act as to safeguard the members of \u201cProtected Classes\u201d against slandering and defamation.<\/b>
\nTechnological solutions became the apparent way to deal with it. But with the new copyright directive in a place called YouTube\u2019s <\/span>Content ID system<\/span><\/a>, content creators will have to face a tech which automatically deletes and apply restricted age requirements to the suspected video content which may result to \u201cshock or disgust viewers.\u201d <\/span>
\nThe problem that makes this tool worrying is how it will be implemented to the system since it hasn\u2019t been properly used before.\u00a0<\/span>
\nYouTube is focused to sift through its videos that have similar content which may violate the rules. <\/span>With the Content ID system, the security will be airtight that even live streams will be on close watch.<\/b>
\nKhan Academy is one of the leading digital education platforms and it also uses YouTube as a way to reach its 4.9 million subscribers. <\/span>
\nWhat makes Khan Academy different is it uses the element of interaction with entertainment that students may not experience in a classroom. <\/span>
\nBut with the Content ID system, YouTube may as well go through not only news video channels, but also the educational content channels as with other lifestyle categories.<\/span>
\nCopyright issues and social conflicts are now taking place but YouTube is determined to pull out the root by using the new tech tool. However, there may be an underlying complication hidden among these possibilities that could affect the entire digital social network.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
