a steemit friend I'm proud of, who is still steadfast on this steemit platform, this time I will share a bit of information about the new policy on you tube to hinder the spread of contest conspiracy theories and hoax news on their platforms / you tube
YouTube announced a number of new policies to hinder the spread of conspiracy theory content and hoax news on their video sharing platform. budgeted US $ 25 million or approximately Rp 357 billion to address the content.
Amongst these policies, YouTube collaborates with the Google News Initiative to build an advisory team of members and media experts. Currently, Vox Media, Jovem Pan, and India Today have joined. In the next few weeks, the number of members will be added.
This media organization engagement is necessary because YouTube will provide features that contain verified news sources. "This is a year of false news and misinformation, we see the importance of providing accurate information to users," said YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki quoted by TechCrunch, Tuesday (10/7).
That way, a few hours after a major event, YouTube users can search for accurate information through available article links. This feature will be an accurate comparison of the videos circulating on its platform.
This advisory and team team will provide you with news-related input linked on the YouTube platform. "(More) is easy to produce quickly and upload low-quality videos that disseminate misinformation about ongoing events," said Chief Product Officer of YouTube Neal Mohan quoted from The Verge.
YouTube also updates Top News and Breaking News features that already operate in 17 countries around the world, including the United States (US), UK, France, India and Mexico.
