That makes youtube a publisher instead of platform. There are HUGE legal implications in this.

I think that Youtube is already deemed to be a publisher and not just a platform. Just look at the many copyright infringement cases over the past decades. Altavista, Google, etc could not get away with claiming they where just a platform which allows to search websites. By gathering and presenting the information they are helping to facilitate the copyright infringement in the cases of copyright infringement. More recent court cases show that 'platforms' like Facebook, Youtube, etc are responsible for the content they publish on their website. Unregulated 'internet' (or better put: generic WWW) has ceased to exist a long time ago (and IMHO for good reasons).

Louis Rossmann got two strikes for cat videos. Go figure, YouTube is not targeting anyone in particular, just their stupid AI is going bonkers.

@EEVBlog : Dude, harsh  :popcorn:

Unlike regular investments or investment channels, the crypto market is wholey unregulated. With the collective magnitude of losses from those who put their life savings into these crypto-scams, after thoroughly researching their investments on YouTube, the class action lawyers will be looking to the largest and lowest hanging fruit - which is Alphabet, aka Google. Google is not exactly flavour of the month with governments, so beating the Big Greedy also looks good.

But why would Alphabet's board of Directors - Sorry team YouTube - go to war on crypto content over the holiday period? Did they think no-one would notice because we're all partying in Boca Raton (other Trump resorts are available).

Maybe this is an algorithm gone rogue? Or there's a boiler room of content censors in south east somewhere? Censors who lack the necessary understanding of the nuances of the English language. "Harmfull and dangerous" just means, "that what we click johnny!"

How does the State of California, where most 'internet law' is upheld, define dangerous? Reading around this this afternoon, for something to be "dangerous" there has to be evidence it is so or, there is a proven propensity for it to be so. If the video is harmful or dangerous, then the publisher (not YT) would be negligent? More low hanging fruit anyone?

Thinks: Is this purge affecting XRP, Ethereum, Tether, Dash and BitcoinCash content? Because as this purge has impacted the Bitcoin price, has anyone been trading BTC over the holiday period?

@EEVBlog: Don't mess with the middle, reach for the top. Why not Tweet Alphabet's board members for an answer? Alphabet has, "... a timeless mission, enduring values, and a culture of collaboration...". https://blog.google/inside-google/alphabet/letter-from-larry-and-sergey
