But I’m not aware that any reputable news organization kept reporting that everyone was killed. It was big news when all those guards were found to be alive.

And of course, nobody’s getting sanctioned for occasional factual errors. YouTube is responding to a blanket refusal to label known disinformation, not passing errors.

I can go on youtube and in 2 seconds find a Joe Rogen video arguing ancient art was created by space aliens & Jordan Petterson arguing ancients had knowledge of DNA. I'm not sure I understand the standard here.

There’s also the issue of purporting to be journalism, indeed “straight news” to use Robbie’s parlance.

I would like to see YouTube crack down on health misinformation, too, but it’s gotta start somewhere and incredibly consequential and politically toxic lies like Trump’s election conspiracies are a logical place to start.

For all I know, YouTube does insist that health journalists identify false claims about vaccines when they quote disinfo merchants. If they don’t, they should. Twitter has banned Covid disinfo, although enforcement is uneven.

CBS should *absolutely* say that the mayor is wrong if they know it when it goes to air. If they get called on it and they tell YouTube to fuck off with their “cancel culture”-adjacent rules because they’re too good for that, of course they should get banned.

They shouldn't have gone to air with it because other reliable sources which are monitoring radiation, like IAEA, said no radiation so far. To just report a unverified and false claim in this situation is irresponsible.

This is nitpicking CBS’s news decisions on a developing story. Regardless, they are not willfully failing to label disinfo. It’s newsworthy that the mayor of the city is saying radiation levels are rising, it’s also newsworthy that international regulators are saying otherwise.

They put in deck of tweet mayor's statement without noting it is countered by other evidence. Norm now is when Trump, say, lies, that lie is noted (not repeated) in headline.

It's not clear here whether you're claiming YouTube's application of its standard is inconsistent, or saying you think the standard itself is bad. You seem to be going back and forth between the two.

YouTube doesn't have a blanket "no false statements" policy, as far as I can tell. They have a policy that says that certain specific claims (about the 2020 election, in this case) are false AND will be regulated in specific ways on their service.
