YouTube has loosened its content moderation policies
Briefly

YouTube has revised its video moderation policies to allow content that might usually be removed to remain online if deemed to serve the public interest. The new guidelines permit videos where less than half of the content violates platform rules, increasing from one-quarter previously. This includes topics like elections, race, and gender discussions. The platform emphasizes balancing free expression with the need to curb harm, indicating a shift from previous stricter measures on misinformation during political events and the pandemic.
In recent changes to its content moderation approach, YouTube now allows videos that may violate its rules to remain online if they serve the public interest.
The updated guidance reflects a balance between upholding free expression and mitigating the risks of harmful content.
