    Why in the world is @YouTube putting information about 9/11 underneath the Notre Dame livestream from @FRANCE24? (Especially since it seems like, at least right now, ongoing renovations are the most likely cause, no indication of terror) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8yyiEfHIRA …pic.twitter.com/ZheCMC5pcG

        is it an auto-generated thing that's seeing the plumes of smoke and thinks it's 9/11 footage?

        If and when some madman shooting up a mosque mentions the Notre Dame fire in his manifesto, @YouTube should be held liable.

        Algorithms can't be racist but the people who program them often are. Its kind of a naked reflection of what Youtube is and who runs it.
