> There never was a policy about the WHO. "Anything that would go against World Health Organization recommendations would be a violation of our policy." - YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki > To my knowledge no video was ever removed because of a conflict with the WHO. "Sharyl Attkisson, host of the nationally syndicated news magazine TV show "Full Measure" had her story about "politicizing COVID-19 medicine" pulled by YouTube, because the video service deemed it 'dangerous.' The issue was that one doctor said that hydroxychloroquine still needed to be studied." https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/youtube-reinstates-hydroxychloroquine-story-after-deeming-it-dangerous https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/youtube-reinstates-hyd...

That is just a small, singular quote for the press and not necessarily a fully fleshed explanation of the policy.

That's the quote from the interview I mentioned. Now find me the policy you claim exists. Hell, even find me a transcript of that interview. This is literally one story written about one out of context quote with no external verification by any of the parties involved. It's the very definition of manufactured outrage. As far as the video you linked: it was reinstated. That's right there in the headline of the article you linked. They messed up, and put it back. Isn't that saying that their actual policy is the opposite of what you claim?

    That policy is completely absurd on its face. >YouTube doesn't allow content that spreads medical misinformation that contradicts the World Health Organization (WHO) or local health authorities’ medical information about COVID-19 What if local health authorities contradict WHO medical information? Google's mission used to be to organize the world's information. Now they seem to be want to go way beyond that.

Simple: then you're not allowed to upload videos on those topics at all.
