I'm not well read on the situation, but it sounds like they had serious moderation problems. It looks like they had adult content on their popular video's page occasionally even with a filter enabled. If they were being de-listed from DMCA and legal complaints, that's on them. A lot of the regulation and laws in this space give a lot of power to copyright holders, and YouTube likely has agreements that give them some leniency that other companies just can't get. I feel like that's less of a Tech Giant problem and more of a massive legal barrier to entry problem.
- mysticlabs 7y agoOccasionally something adult slipped through but we caught it as quickly as humanly possible. The government never had an issue with us, and we worked with them. The only company enforcing anything was Google, and they kept moving the goal posts every time we talked to them until it became clear there was nothing we could do to resolve these issues to meet their standards, standards they themselves have not met in the past 11+ years.
