YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said content by politicians would stay up on the video-sharing website even if it violates the company's standards. She said the news media is likely to cover controversial content regardless of whether it's taken down
Social media firms have seen their policies for reviewing and removing content come under fire in recent years, particularly when such content endorses hate-filled views or incites real-world violence. The issue is even more prickly when it involves world leaders like President Donald Trump, who has used bullying or violent language in social media posts.
Wojcicki's remarks came a day after Facebook's global affairs chief Nick Clegg told the same conference in Washington that political leaders would be allowed to break the social network's content rules. Earlier this year, Twitter announced it would label and demote, but not remove, content from politicians that violates its standards.
YouTube also allows certain content to violate its rules if it is educational, documentary, scientific or artistic in nature, the CEO said.
