A<\/span> major change of policy has been confirmed by Google. It is about dealing the content of the extremists on YouTube. According to a spokeswoman, the policy is broadened to take the content of the extremists. Besides eliminating videos that are included with hate speech for aggravating violence, it also eradicates other videos of notorious terrorists. Contents that are educational or journalistic like documentaries and news reports are accepted by YouTube.<\/p>\n

This change has been reported by Reuters after a report has been published by the New York Times. According to the report, YouTube had decreased such content that are included with lectures performed by jihadist member Anwar al-Awlaki. YouTube is also removing such videos of Anwar al-Awlaki that are directly not related to hate but discussing on several matters that are apparently non-violent.<\/p>\n

Six years ago, with a US drone strike Anwar al-Awlaki was killed. On the contrary, it is reported that well-known jihadist of English language is still alive. His lectures are still broadcasted through widespread digital media. A spokeswoman of YouTube, TechCrunch told on a phone call that almost 50000 videos of the lectures of Anwar al-Awlaki are eliminated by now. There is still some content of Anwar al-Awlaki on YouTube. It is the motto of YouTube to eliminate the content which is made by identified extremists. YouTube is also discouraging others who want to make same type of videos.<\/p>\n

TechCrunch told that change of the policy is the outcome of the fact that YouTube is working with a group of NGO professionals who are involved in this sector. YouTube is also taking part in its program which is known as community content policing flaggers who are trusted. The flaggers have suggested that even if the lectures do not contain hate speech can be a part of an extensive narrative which is used by jihadist leader or group for recruitment and spreading the hate and violence. User created content platforms and YouTube are also under certain political pressure for taking a harder stance on the content of the extremist.<\/p>\n

In June 2017, a collection of measures is announced by YouTube for increasing the attempts for combating jihadi misinformation. This includes expansion of the use of artificial intelligence for locating the content of the terrorists. YouTube has taken 50 professional NGOs in its flagger program to grow the counter-radicalization struggle. This involves targeting the content that debunks and deconstructs the views of jihadists while someone looks for any words of the extremists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
