YouTube tightens policy to remove hateful, supremacist content

YouTube Thursday tightened its policies to combat hateful and supremacist content, as it resolved to protect the platform from being used to incite hatred, harassment, discrimination and violence.

Citing examples, it said this would include videos that promote or glorify Nazi ideology, which is inherently discriminatory. Also, YouTube will remove content denying that well-documented violent events, like the Holocaust or the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School (in Connecticut, United States), took place. The latest move assumes significance as digital platforms and social media companies have come under increased global scrutiny on issues like hate content, fake news
