That should be all points really. Why are you suddenly, as a platform holder, not responsible for the content you host if money changes hands for you to host it

That should be all points really. Why are you suddenly, as a platform holder, not responsible for the content you host if money changes hands for you to host it first? That makes no sense, you are still the party putting that content in front of an audience, and as part of a contractual arrangement no less.
- vannevar 3y agoNot only do they receive money for hosting the ad, they actually select the potential scam victims for the scammer and preferentially display the ad to the people that are algorithmically determined to be most vulnerable to the scam. It hasn't been tested yet, but I believe YouTube could be held civilly or criminally liable for the underlying fraud.
