1/ Eric Schmidt says YouTube’s algos need rewriting to make extremist content “harder to find” to solve brand safetyhttp://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/297739/att-verizon-pull-ads-alphabets-schmidt-concede.html …

But they _will not_ delete extremist content - and I understand their reasoning, even if I don't agree with it.
-
Indeed. Schmidt is quoted in the above article in a way that shows he puts anti-censorship before brand safety.
-
In a way that's good if it were about censoring things which are just "unpopular", "obscene", etc.
-
But they're happy to reject "obscene" content (even +ing a 'restr. mode' declaring all LGBT creators obscene).
-
I'm willing to accept that it was an unintended mistake, an unfortunate side-effect of arcane classification.
-
If it were a mistake they would have fixed it by now, or at least publicly declared it a mistake.
-
They KNOW the target audience of this feature (K-12 edu, etc.) wants to make LGBT people disappear.
