According to the statement, it doesn't require that the information was "hacked." It's only used as an example of something they would ban. It also doesn't limit it to one country. If the information would interfere in an election, perhaps even China's democratic centralism, according to this statement, it should be banned.
So any secrets that politicians have been trying to cover up should not be shared on YouTube. Any disclosures of corruption in any government should be kept to another platform. It seems that this would exclude all news organizations from using YouTube to broadcast if enforced fairly, but I would guess that they would use a more narrow definition of "interfere."
- ewzimm 6y agoI've seen elsewhere that this may be related to the Google Ads policy here: https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/9991623?hl=en&ref_topic=29265 https://support.google.com/adspolicy/answer/9991623?hl=en&re... This policy explicitly allows discussion and commentary, just not direct access to information. So news is perfectly acceptable, as long as it doesn't direct people to its sources. This is likely how YouTube will implement the policy as well.
