YouTube promises to stop promoting misleading videos

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] If you believe the world is flat, don’t count on YouTube recommending videos supporting your theory.

That’s because YouTube is promising to stop promoting so many sensationalistic clips that revolve around scientifically proven falsehoods and other suspect information, such as conspiracy theories revolving around the US government’s involvement in the 9/11 attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center in New York.
or ~~Global Warming~~ Climate Change?
YouTube, part of Google, announced its de-emphasis on misleading videos Friday.

It’s the latest example of a widely used digital service trying to stop the spread of misinformation as politicians scrutinize the role that technology companies play in distributing potentially toxic propaganda. Both Facebook and Twitter are trying to take similar steps.

The misleading videos will remain on YouTube, even after they are phased out from its recommendation list.

#1 translation: we are using the loonies as cover to further suppress and demonitize libertarian and conservative thought, and also suppress anything that runs counter to the dominant progressive story lines. Latest example: burying the damage done by the media in the Covington kids case.
