Mozilla YouTube Investigation in NBC

By Patrick Kowalczyk, 23 July 2021 — Internet, Mission Driven

YouTube’s controversial algorithm is recommending videos considered disturbing and hateful by users and which often violate the platform’s very own content policies, according to a crowdsourced investigation released today by Mozilla. The study also found that people in non-English speaking countries are far more likely to encounter videos they considered disturbing.

Coverage of the study included NBC News, NPR’s Marketplace, Politico, Business Insider, Techcrunch, The Verge, Mashable, Adweek, and Fortune.
