The YouTube platform has launched a new feature that will enable users to learn channels and videos that are funded in whole or in part by countries in order to make their users fully transparent.
According to YouTube, it will henceforth place a message in the form of a message below the video to show users that the channel in question is funded entirely or partially by the countries. YouTube has started this with Radio Free Asia, funded by Government of the United States of America.
The information provided by YouTube on government-funded channels will be based on Wikipedia, and so far the new feature is only available to US users, and YouTube will circulate it to other users later.
