In searching for middle ground, YouTube angered everyone
In the wake of the Steven Crowder scandal, YouTube said it would reconsider its harassment policies.: After an inconsistent and confusing response to a public callout of homophobic harassment by right-wing YouTuber Steven Crowder, YouTube has created a firestorm across the political spectrum.
A day later, YouTube made a policy change that takes a tougher stance against hate speech and Holocaust denialism. In applying the new rules, several other channels and videos were demonetized or banned. Maza’s case against Crowder is just the latest example of YouTube’s failure to curb abuse, LGBTQ creators. By explicitly admitting that Crowder didn’t violate the platform’s policies, LGBTQ YouTubers don’t feel welcome.
