Today, YouTube clarified how it plans to handle videos that don’t violate any of its policies but still contain offensive religious and supremacist content: hide them and make sure they can’t make any money.

Walker also wrote that YouTube would take a “tougher stance” on controversial videos that don’t actually violate any YouTube policies.

YouTube can change the rules on its own platform anytime, but it will raise the question how biased the flaggers and NGOs are. Outsourcing the censorship to people with no legal grounds is a very questionable move and most likely will conflict with freedom of speech.
