YouTube CEO says 'sorry,' but defends hosting videos with homophobic slurs. (via NBCNews)
Wojcicki, a high-profile Silicon Valley executive, faced a skeptical crowd at the annual conference for tech and media professionals. When Ina Fried, a journalist from Axios, suggested during a question-and-answer period that Wojcicki wasn't actually sorry, the audience greeted the question with applause.
Last week, YouTube said it would begin banning videos promoting Nazi ideology and those denying "well-documented violent events" such as the Holocaust or the Sandy Hook massacre. Interviewer Peter Kafka, senior correspondent for digital tech website Recode, which hosted the conference, pressed Wojcicki on whether she was sorry, or just sorry that people expressed offense. Wojcicki apologized again.
