Carlos Maza added,
What value does @YouTube think racist and homophobic epithets add to the platform? What possible rationale can it have for carving out an exception for epithets? Who does that kind of speech benefit?
.@YouTube does not have an anti-harassment or anti-hate speech policy.
It has rules clarifying how to engage in hate speech and harassment with impunity.
.@YouTube has decided that being targeted by racist and homophobic slurs is acceptable as long as its part of a bigger debate.
Essentially telling queer and non-white creators that abuse and harassment is the price you pay for engaging in politics.
This is why @YouTube has become such a toxic dumpster fire.
The platform normalizes hate speech by treating it like part of regular political discourse.
Queer people and people of color shouldn’t have to endure abuse just to participate in controversial discussions.
Growing up, kids would yell things like “get out of the way, f*ggot.” Hate speech was never the “primary” intent of their message. But it was a pretty fucking important part of it.
People who use hate speech during political debates NEVER make it their “primary” focus. It’s always tacked on to otherwise normal arguments about immigration or crime or “morality.”
@YouTube KNOWS that. They just don’t give a shit. Because hate speech drives engagement.
Like this "hate speech" which is actually a call to violence? @TeamYouTubepic.twitter.com/9qBQ1ORa6F
