YouTube CEO: Politicians can break our content rules
Found on Politico on Sunday, 29 September 2019
YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said today that content by politicians would stay up on the video-sharing website even if it violates the company's standards, echoing a position staked out by Facebook this week.
Wojcicki's remarks came a day after Facebook's global affairs chief Nick Clegg told the same conference in Washington that political leaders would be allowed to break the social network's content rules. Earlier this year, Twitter announced it would label and demote, but not remove, content from politicians that violates its standards.
All are equal, but some are above the laws. Facebook, YouTube and Twitter just proved that they do not care about equality.
