They ban literally hundreds of thousands of videos for all kinds of sins, from all kinds of people - from US Congressmen to Bob Dylan. But the hostage video made as a result of the most prominent event that happened in Europe, where the last European dictator has hijacked a foreign plane to snatch a dissident - they just never heard anything about it, and nobody can find anybody to contact about it. Yea right, totally believable.
- uh_uh 5y agoI'm not saying that YouTube employees are not aware of the kidnapping, most of them probably are. I'm saying that most of them — including those who can do something about it — are probably not aware that this ad got through their approval system. If you think this is not the case, you underestimate how inefficiently information travels in large organisations.
- smsm42 5y agoI think their filtering system by now is powerful enough to catch anything they want. And it's not some anonymous account as I understand that uploaded it in the dark hour of the night under the guise of unpacking video - they knew who the canal belongs to, and they took money from them. They knew, or they should have known and willfully ignored it - which bears the same responsibility.
