From Reclaim The Net's article on this award (https://reclaimthenet.org/youtube-ceo-freedom-of-expression-award/ https://reclaimthenet.org/youtube-ceo-freedom-of-expression-...):
> One week before receiving this award, Wojcicki appeared at the World Economic Forum’s Global Technology Governance Summit 2021 to discuss how YouTube has ramped up its censorship and called for global coalitions to address content that’s “legal but could be harmful.”
Some recent examples of YouTube's support for free expression:
1. YouTube’s policies block ad targeting on Black Lives Matter videos
