Erust is a completely different situation. This is a person who was in a work situation where she was being paid to advance evil people who are actively causing bad things to happen to vulnerable people. She knowingly took a job pushing that agenda and working to get evil people into power. And those evil people were lovely to her.

So what do you deserve for posting garbage like this in addition to the usual shitposting?

I fully understand the volume of videos uploaded to youtube daily. I'm talking about the youtube kids app, which does not need every video and does not need any video as soon as it's uploaded. Have people watch them and say "yes, this video does not encourage children to commit suicide" gently caress your censorship concerns, I don't care about your free speech.


This!


You're saying I don't get the scale but you don't get the scope. The videos on the youtube kids app should be whitelisted by a human. Period.

Alternatively, parents could you know, parent.

E: to be clear I think hiring a couple hundred content reviewers and tightening up some of the flats for review is a good idea. It’s not YouTube’s job to protect kids thigh. It’s their loving parents job

I never said to use the same technology. I was pointing out their priorities. The copyright filter has existed on YouTube since almost the beginning. It was probably literally their first priority: PROTECT CORPORATIONS! Not only has no progress been made to eliminate hate speech and the like, its getting actively worse all the time and all they can say in response is "hey, we remove tons of content all the time!" They literally could not care less until or unless it starts affecting their bottom line.

Figuring out if a video infringes copyright is just a matter of seeing if it's audio and video content is sufficiently close to that of a second video (or any video from a large set). This is easy because it doesn't have to figure out what it's actually a video of. Detecting hate speech requires figuring that out and that's already hard enough to do for pure text, for video only a human can do with any reasonable level of accuracy.

This discussion has been about the challenges of moderating Youtube at its current scale and growth and maybe the solution is going to turn out to be curbing both of those. If 1 hour of video per second is completely unmanageable and full of society-destroying garbage, stop accepting 1 hour of video per second.

Arrgytehpirate posted:

Yeah, a lot of parents see the internet as equivalent to television when they should really be seeing it as equivalent to going out into public spaces. You shouldn't let kids do it unsupervised until you've inculcated a certain level of common sense and self-preservation rules into them.

"couple of hundred" kinda implies you don't really get how big youtube is. 200 people watching video nonstop for 8 hours a day could watch 1600 hours of video. Cool, but like, 2+ MILLION hours of video are uploaded per day.

Even if you hired a million workers you aren't going to get meaningful human review on youtube uploads.

I also expect less from YouTube based on their past history of being dog poo poo at content moderation unless it’s for corporate overlords.

I mean, their answer to pedos marking time stamps of kids in sexually suggestive poses was to disable comments on any video with kids in it. Including a really cool homestead guy I watch. And they only did that after a bunch of advertisers pulled ads because someone did a video about it.

How big do you think something like youtube or twitter is? How many people are you thinking you'd need to hire just to have someone even see each and every tweet or video? Let alone comprehend the content and make some sort of fair censorship decision. Especially across countries and cultures.

This is begging the question that "allowing an unending torrent of poo poo to be uploaded is a thing that must continue". Fine, allow the normal youtube to be an absolute cesspool, but "gently caress it someone will flag it" is NOT ACCEPTABLE for a kid's walled garden.

The administration not giving this threat the time of day is actually a good thing, even it’s because Trump is Putin’s patsy. Russia has no ability for military strength projection outside of its immediate border (we actually saw this when a armored infantry column of Russian “mercenaries” during the Wagner Group incident in Syria decided to try and scare a compound holding US generals by shelling the hill it was on and nearly the entire force was destroyed in response). Putin is doing this to wave his dick to his base of supporters in Russia and because he knows Trump will shrink away if anyone demands a response

I believe you might have misread me, it was just fun to think of making GBS threads on McConnnell's salad. Mostly in response to the last part of what you said- I wouldn't say zero chance, but it's an extremely dangerous ground. We're dealing with religious zealots.
