Ford Fischer added,
Ryan BroderickVerified account @broderickWith every update, tweak, and clarification that YouTube has pushed out in the last 48 hours, they drive more harassment and vitriol against LGBT creators. They have turned what should have been a clear policy rollout into a fiasco. It's unacceptable. pic.twitter.com/IU2gi4E9lHShow this thread6 replies 29 retweets 108 likesShow this thread -

Dear
@TeamYouTube Tomorrow night I’m covering the “Dyke March” in Washington DC. If someone says something vulgar or demeaning to the LGBT activists, I would include that in my video.
