YouTube Turns to Improved Machine Learning in Fight Against Terror Videos
Posted in: Uncategorized
Google’s YouTube said Tuesday that it’s increasing efforts to fight terror-related content on its site.
The move comes roughly two months after British Prime Minister Theresa May called tech companies hotbeds of extremist recruiting following an attack on London Bridge that killed eight and injured 48. It also follows a springtime marketer revolt over ads’ unwanted proximity to hateful and violent video on YouTube.
YouTube now claims it will use improved machine learning technology to better detect and remove terror-related videos from its video streaming platform. It’s also brought on more than a dozen different expert groups, will enforce tougher standards and has increased its role in creating counter-radicalization content, it said in an update about its efforts.
