Folks, please go read this whole thread below. All of it. And then remember that Chromebooks, which come with access to YouTube (and that I use because great sturdy secure machines!), are half the K-12 market in the US.https://twitter.com/limerick1914/status/972837152940855296 …

The number of people telling me that YouTube autoplay ends up with white supremacists videos from all sorts of starting points is pretty staggering. This needs large-scale and systematic research.https://twitter.com/kalicite/status/973266977060999168?s=21 …

This happens regularly. Remember, many young people turn to YouTube for news. And are fed this stuff. (This one may have been fixed as things that get called out like this get manually fixed. But this is structural and routine).https://twitter.com/blakersdozen/status/973301915743170560?s=21 …

Yep. Gaming is a popular topic among kids and I’ve seen YouTube recommend and autoplay horrible, racist and misogynist content following some random game tips video.https://twitter.com/marsarchaic/status/973278408971927552?s=21 …

No. Just no. I appreciate the complexity and challenge of this transition but, just no to appropriating one of the strongest public institutions we have like this. https://twitter.com/lucas_shaw/status/973686764224249857 …

Matt McCollow 👨👩👧👦 👨💻 🏃♂️ 🏋️♂️ 🎮 @mmccollowI don’t see how this helps solve YouTube’s problem. Their main problem, as@zeynep wrote about, is that their algorithm leads users to radical/extremist content. This is barely even a half-measure. https://twitter.com/wired/status/973693969438773248 …5 replies 26 retweets 65 likesShow this thread -

Funny how I was watching one of your - excellent - videos about algorythms and content priorization on my computer and your tweets suddenly start popping up on my phone's feed.

Though getting Z. Tufekci as curated content is not a worst case scenario.
