The accuser should be made public and held to a high standard. What could Youtube do to get the incentives more aligned so that users infringed upon are still willing to make the accusation, but false accusers would steer away?
- forgottenpass 11y agoWhat could Youtube do to get the incentives more aligned so Nothing. If YouTube doesn't act aggressive enough at taking videos down, Viacom et al. start having their lawyers breathe down Google's neck. If YouTube is too aggressive in taking things down, businesses are inconvenienced yet again at the whim of a platform owner that they zero negotiating power with. The people who do have negotiating power with YouTube already have bigger things that they want from YouTube and, if they do care about takedowns, can probably get most-favored-nations status in the dispute process.
