Youtube's content moderation team also has a terrible track record.
One of my favorite science channels, Cody's Lab, gets banned all the time because he has educational videos on making explosives. The guy is so family friendly he doesn't even swear in his videos.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoHe got raided / investigated by a government body as well at some point (it's in one of his videos) where they went looking for nuclear materials. He had some, but it was traces and stored securely (he made his own lead/concrete container). Anyway, Youtube - and by extension, the US government - are a bit cagey about instructions on how to make explosives (and thermite). If amateurs try to emulate it, they can injure themselves badly. I mean you only have to look at some of the "fail" compilations on youtube to see how stupid some people are.
- hef19898 6y agoShowing people how to make explosives at home is the opposite of family friendly. Mixing this stiff is dangerous, for those mixing and for those near by. Neither is it educational. Nor true science. Imagine he would make the same videos about drugs instead of explosives, would it still be family friendly? Both things are basic chemistry after all.
