To clarify, that reply was specific to videos that include minors and are at risk for “predatory” comments. These recent actions are due to our efforts to go above and beyond our existing protections related to content that may endanger minors. More here: https://goo.gl/8ikmGR

And what a charming explanation that is, given the context: you cracked down hard on a mother who uploaded a video of her five year old son doing gymnastics, because some creep posted rude remarks. https://twitter.com/BallingerMom/status/1098583664932331526 … Charming.

You even admitted that she was doing a great job moderating her comments, https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1098825319228661760 … but that you'd go on punishing her for what a troll did, because in some hand-waving sense, you were doing this to address a problem.

TeamYouTubeVerified account @TeamYouTubeReplying to @BallingerMom @YouTube and 2 othersJust to be super clear, we're not saying anything is wrong with the actual video and thank you for doing a great job moderating the comments section. These recent actions are due to an abundance of caution related to content that may endanger minors.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
Which somehow, in some magical way, will get better when you punish the innocent, who are not themselves engaged in the behavior you seek to deter, by giving trolls the power to harm the people they harass. Because that thought would really bother a troll?

But there's another problem with your "clarification": it's bulls.hit and everybody seems to know it. I've seen channels in which NO children were present in the videos, and the owners still saw their videos demonetized because somebody said something inappropriate in chat.

Ever moderate a chat in a livestream before? It is hard to keep up with that flow, even in slow mode, but do you guys care? Nope. Miss something inappropriate as it goes flying by and the channel owner is going to pay for one's oversight.

Others got punished for a few stray unfriendly comments, which I found interesting because of something I wrote to Youtube about several times, most recently in this tweet. https://twitter.com/_centrists_/status/1102779094054432771 … This was special.

((( 👌 Chill Session 👍))) @_centrists_Replying to @TeamYouTubeHi. I hear that you've been taking action against Youtube creator, punishing them for leaving hate speech in the comments on their videos. I was rather surprised to hear that, given the comment section of this video posted by@TheOnion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4PC8Luqiws … Take a look at it1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
There has been a neo-Nazi rally taking place in the comments for a video posted by the Onion. I'll link to a "discussion" typical of what could be seen in the comments for that video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4PC8Luqiws&lc=Ugxk2L4_h4oYnsNvEdV4AaABAg … The discussion starts right under the description.
