YouTube's New Moderators Mistakenly Pull Right-Wing Channels (bloomberg.com)
In December, said it would assign more than 10,000 people to moderate content in an attempt to curb its child exploitation problem. Today, Bloomberg reports that those new moderators mistakenly removed several videos and some channels from right-wing, pro-gun video producers and outlets in the midst of a nationwide debate on gun control. From the report: Some YouTube channels recently complained about their accounts being pulled entirely. On Wednesday, the Outline highlighted accounts, including Titus Frost, that were banned from the video site. Frost tweeted on Wednesday that a survivor of the shooting, David Hogg, is an actor. Jerome Corsi of right-wing conspiracy website Infowars said on Tuesday that YouTube had taken down one of his videos and disabled his live stream. Shutting entire channels would have marked a sweeping policy change for YouTube, which typically only removes channels in extreme circumstances and focuses most disciplinary action on specific videos. But YouTube said some content was taken down by mistake. The site didn't address specific cases and it's unclear if it meant to take action on the accounts of Frost and Corsi. "As we work to hire rapidly and ramp up our policy enforcement teams throughout 2018, newer members may misapply some of our policies resulting in mistaken removals," a YouTube spokeswoman wrote in an email. "We're continuing to enforce our existing policies regarding harmful and dangerous content, they have not changed. We'll reinstate any videos that were removed in error."
First!
About pulling right-wing channels. Just mistaken about which ones.
YouTube certainly trademarked the hell out of that email.
Slashdot's old moderators mistakenly pull server's plug
Seriously, just goto no ip dot com, setup your own website, point it at a tiny 35 dollar raspberry pi, then stream YOUR videos to YOUR hearts content.
If you guys want to stop being the butt rape fun time of corporations then just stop being it. It is not hard, it is not expensive, and it is not difficult.
You just want to show off your silly shit to the world in a way the other sheeple are doing so that your a special snowflake like the other 10 trillion special snowflakes, just stop for gods sakes. Have dignity ownership and responsibility.
It boggles the mind just how absurd all of this is, people are utilizing these services to the point where they imagine using these things isn't just a right but a necessity.
I cannot even....jesus wept...fucking hell...
I can't possibly imagine how that happened!
Big Tech needs to stop the tortious interference or Congress is going to pass anti-censorship laws
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
However, this isn't the first time youtube has screwed up like this.
Why the hell are they allowing obviously untrained people the power to wipe out entire channels on a whim?

Today, CNN was lying about President Trump saying that he wanted to confiscate guns without due process. More fake news. We all know our President would never ever say such a thing!
The phony quote, if you can possibly believe it, was, "I like taking the guns early...Take the guns first. Go through due process second,” They even had some CGI version of President Trump speaking these words in a supposed meeting with members of congress.
We're not going to fall for it, no sir. We're way to smart for that. YOU DON'T GET TO SLANDER OUR PRESIDENT THAT WAY, LIBS.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Mistakenly?

promoting the conspiracy theory that the kids caught up in the last school shooting were "crisis actors" and that the shooting was a "false flag" (e.g. it never really happened).
Personally if I were Youtube I wouldn't want to be associated with those kind of nut jobs (if they believe it) or bastards (if they don't believe it and are just passing it around to get a rise out of the nut jobs). Remember kiddies, it's not censorship if the government didn't do it. You have a right to speak, you do not have a right to make google pay for your megaphone.
Meanwhile Youtube continue to de-rank left wing media in favor of corporate media (CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc).

What is with all the weird characters in the post?
Oh right, because /. will pay lip service to the IT crowd, but not actually give a single developer money to fix a single thing
I think I'm done with this site, the articles tend to have little to do with new fascinating technologies and more to do with facebook style click bait
No one appears to be at the helm to give the site much needed technical overhauls
The posters get into weird flame wars about politics instead of discussing anything and swear at each other endlessly with keyboard cowboy empty threats of violence
Good bye /.
YouTube just said what you say when you get caught doing something that looks very bad. Youtube has a very negative and vicious agenda.
Facebook rolled out its new algorithm in January.
Due to the algorithm, Trump's total engagement dropped by about half, while the engagements of left-wing people such as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren stayed largely the same.
I don't mind healthy competition between political viewpoints, but why does "oops, we're having some trouble with the algorithm" always seem to be in favor of the left?
"We fired an engineer for being aware of basic biology and psychology, and we constantly curate the front page and trending vidlist to exclude viewpoints we don't like. Oh, and we also hired 10,000 thought police. How could this happen???" -Youtube
Where do you draw the line when we also value freedom of speech? People like Alex jones are nucking futs but pulling down a channel like that only makes it worse by lending credibility and showing its worthy of attention. I completely disagree with nearly anything out of that mans mouth but banning him from YouTube is something I would not be ok with. If people can't tell reality from fiction then the problem is worse than the internet police can address.
Google should have given a quick glance at Lois Lerner's resume before hiring her to run their Department Of Capricious Silencing. Or, maybe they did!
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
FTA:
YouTube’s new moderators, brought in to spot fake, misleading and extreme videos, stumbled in one of their first major tests, mistakenly removing some clips and channels in the midst of a nationwide debate on gun control.
[..]
On Wednesday, the Outline highlighted accounts, including Titus Frost, that were banned from the video site. Frost tweeted on Wednesday that a survivor of the shooting, David Hogg, is an actor. Jerome Corsi of right-wing conspiracy website Infowars said on Tuesday that YouTube had taken down one of his videos and disabled his live stream.
If Frost and Corsi don't qualify as fake, misleading, and extreme then those words have lost meaning.
ps. Has anyone else noticed /. being slow and intermittent the last few days? I wonder if they're on the receiving of a DDOS or something.

"MISTAKENLY" with air quotes.
Right.
No system is perfect. Possibly the most critical system in the US is the justice system. It could not operate without a certain amount of injustice. By some estimates, as much as 5% of those incarcerated in the US are actually innocent. A few place it higher using indirect evidence based on research into plea bargains.
So, in order to be safer, of the 2 million we incarcerate each year, we commit at least 40K and as much as 100K innocent people. It is the cost of justice.
The removal of a video from youtube unjustly is considerably less penalty than the incarceration of an innocent man. It seems as though a false positive error rate over 10-20% would be perfectly reasonable if it significantly increases the rate of removal of those videos that really should be removed - especially if there is a route to getting mistakes reversed. The percentage of mistakes fixed in the justice system is extremely low.
Uh, huh ...
LMAO There is APK fat useless virgin posting his delusional bullshit out of his ass off again, and making silly accusations, poor Koch sucker, gives his ass away for free. Sad.
And you need a permit to operate a car. Look there are many many reason all those car/cooking knife (or heck swimming pool) comparison to gun death are utterly stupid. For one we have accepted that some objects have a primary useful activity which the general public enjoy making our capitalist societies better : transportation (car) cooking/preparing/cutting (knife) and entertainment (swimming pool). When accident do happen we try as a society to make up new law enforcing certain protection or minimum standard to help increase security lower death count, e.g. seat belt, e.g. baby seat placement instruction on car seat. Killing is at best a bar far secondary objective of such items (combat knife) or even never the objective (car, pool). But with gun it is different. The primary reason of the guns, is that they were invented to kill more efficiently. Forget the BS about sport , that did not happen in the 18th century for your average person in the US, at the time of the framing of the second amendment. And yet contrary to car, you don't have anywhere near the regulation for an instrument made up primary to kill. You don't even have nearly the same training, and you have not even the same follow up on ownership.
Every attempt at having a minimum , heck like car tracking ownership or having non discriminatory permit/training is met by a "they want to get uuuuur guuuunns" lobby of the NRA which says "no" to EVERYTHING. As long as you let those fuckers block everything with a "no", even something as simple as allowing : 1) tracking ownership electronically 2) enforce having a real training with permit like a car (that does not infringe the general population right of ownership IMO if it stops you getting one because you are too fucked up to pass the permit, as long as the exams is not the stupid 4h training the NRA offer anybody can pass with the finger in the nose) 3) allow again the CDC to study gun violence and/or solution , then the situation will get fucked up. Look up the statistics : while gun violence dropped in the last 3 decades, mass shooting actually rose. Sharply. That should tell you something right there.

Suuuuuure they "mistakenly" pulled them.
The main problem is that people slap labels on large groups of people and then think all of them are the same. It was stupid when people did it to black people and it's stupid when people do it to white people. It's stupid when people do it to republicans and it's stupid when people do it to democrats. We should be coming together, not standing around flipping "the other people" the bird. It's not only pointless, it's fucking dangerous.
mistakenly. ROFL.
nobody cares anymore. don't need to lie. CNN get caught in really stupid lies every day. youtube, and others every now and then. Or sometimes its like, just a whoopsie, you know.

Justice department is a justice issue. It has no mandate on health issue. The CDC does. Which is why it was a great shame that the SOLE agency studying gun violence was actually de-funded to do it.
I am ranting with "uuur guuuns" because people spout excuse for the gun lobby without thinking twice and I am an old coger enough that those issue were clarified again and again and again but the same BS keep cropping up (see same thing with global warming). Looking at *absolute* number of death is one of those tactic. Yes cars kill more people in absolute. But this is a wrong number to compare, you have to compare per hour of driving usage, to per hour of gun usage or a similar statistic. Cars are used far far more per capita than guns are carried. Thus what appears in absolute a bigger number, is actually factually per capita/per hours usage a much lower number. So the 12 fatality per 100K for car comapred to the suicide+murder of In 2013 the United States' firearm-related death rate was 10.7 deaths for every 100K inhabitants , or murder solely 3.5K per 100K you quickly see that due to the huge usage per hours of day of cars, or even their *predominant* presence in every corner city or rural, that gun are far far far more dangerous than cars by order of magnitude.
Facit : compare what is comparable. If you start comparing absolute number, then chance is that you are trying to push an agenda. You gotta make sure numbers are on a valid scale. Nuff said. Feel free to rant about me.

Ukraine lacking them (they disarmed after assurances from the West that we'd protect them from invasion) is what allowed Russia to waltz in and grab Crimea.
That's the CNN narrative.
The reality is NATO kept building bases around Moscow and then the US spent billions to topple the elected government of Ukraine (through Soros/Nuland/etc).
Crimea historically has always been part of Russia, it's population is 90% russians, it was given to Ukraine in recent years through a stroke of the pen.
The Crimeans saw what the US did to Ukraine, voted to join Russia, so Russia accepted it.
So it's the election that allowed Russia to take Crimea, and the nuked stopped the evil US from retaliating.

Am I the only one perturbed by the idea that white supremacy and batshit, oft-dangerous conspiracy theories are now considered to be under the wing of all conservatism? If they get attacked, I often see people see this as an attack on the Right in general. Why? That is not to say that Right-leaning media that do not fit these guidelines may not have been targeted, but why is the Right so gung-ho about ensuring companies pay for the messages of white supremacists or people like Alex Jones? If I throw a party at my house and one person says "I think Trump is a fascist" and another says "Black people should be eradicated" and I only boot the person who promoted genocide, am I unfairly impeding their free speech? Must I allow them to stay in my house if I don't boot the anti-Trump person?
I've been on the Internet long enough to know that IRC channels, BBS's, AOL chat rooms, forums and many more have had rules that, if broken, can get you kicked or banned. If I break a rule, I get kicked/banned or my thread/message gets deleted. If the rules aren't clear and I get punished for something that isn't clear, that is obviously a problem with their process and it should be rectified (as it seems they are doing here). If there was a wholesale ban against conservatism, I definitely understand, but is that actually happening? I guarantee you I can find a bunch of conservative videos right now on Youtube.

The first one is easily explained "African-American Inventor" contains the substring "American Inventor". The problem with the rest is that most of the time none of them are identified as "white". Take Alexander Graham Bell's wikipedia page, for example. The word "white" only appears in name of a plane that Bell helped to develop, meanwhile the top result for "white inventor" is a black man who had to hire a white actor to pretend to be him to sell his inventions. It's not notable to most people that a couple is white, or that a woman with children is white, or that a man and a woman are white. The last term is more of the same, if you understand that Europeans do not often consider themselves to be "European" and instead they are British, French, German, etc. then the results again make sense because the term European is again used most often to identify historical figures who are not European.
Try searching for:
famous inventor (inventor just returns CAD images)
couples
women with children
man and woman
history people
And you'll see that most of the pictures are white people.
This doesn't look like result manipulation, it looks like the terms that you listed are most often used when the picture does not conform to the terms. It's certain counter-intuitive, but it's what anyone with an actual understanding of exactly how dumb algorithms can be would expect from page rank in these circumstances. Contrary to your claim, the results actually seem to be pretty clear evidence that Google is not manipulating these search results or the results would be better.
