News headlines today: Dec. 11, 2019is taking another step to curb hateful and violent speech on its site.
YouTube has been slapped with criticism from politicians, viewers and video creators for the material it allows on — and bans from — the site. The site has been accused of allowing and fostering hate speech and extremism and creating spaces for harassment to linger online, along with other digital sites that allow people to upload their own material, such as Facebook and Twitter.
YouTube has long prohibited outright threats of violence. In June, it updated its hate speech policies to ban videos with white supremacist and Neo-Nazi viewpoints. That will change today. YouTube confirmed that Crowder's videos about Maza now violate its new policies and will be removed.
