YouTube removed 70,000 videos in Ukraine-related enforcement action
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in late February, YouTube has taken down more than 70,000 videos to date related to the conflict,it removed many of the videos for breaking its major violent events policy, which prohibits content creators from denying or trivializing events like the invasion.
YouTube did not breakdown the enforcement action but noted that it suspended approximately 9,000 channels in the sweep, including one tied to pro-Kremlin journalist Vladimir Solovyov. Some of the videos YouTube took down broke the company’s guidelines by referring to the invasion as a “liberation mission.”
“We have a major violent events policy and that applies to things like denial of major violent events: everything from the Holocaust to Sandy Hook. And of course, what’s happening in Ukraine is a major violent event,” Neal Mohan, YouTube’s chief product officer, toldPartly resulting from its actions, YouTube has seen a significant increase in the number of people in Ukraine, Poland and Russia consuming “authoritative” content on the conflict.
