However, political affiliation is a protected class in other countries where YouTube operates. It's hard to strike a balance on this I fear.

  > political affiliation is a protected class in other countries where YouTube operates At which point Google should decide on what countries they operate in. If they operate in a country where political affiliation is a protected class, go ahead and hide those comments to users in that country. But don't export that country's values to mine.
