YouTube to ban ‘manipulated’ content linked to US elections
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYouTube says it will remove election-related videos that are “manipulated or doctored” to mislead American voters, in the latest effort to stem online misinformation.
The Google-owned video service says it is taking the measures as part of an effort to be a “more reliable source” for news and to promote a “healthy political discourse.”
Leslie Miller, YouTube’s vice president of government affairs and public policy, says in a blog post that the service’s community standards will ban “content that has been technically manipulated or doctored in a way that misleads users… and may pose a serious risk of egregious harm.”
The policy also bans content that aims to mislead people about voting or the census processes.
