Antisemitism Royal Commission: YouTube Slammed Over Hateful Speech Policy The recent testimony before the royal commission into antisemitism and social cohesion has highlighted a disturbing phenomenon: the ease with which hate speech can find a home on YouTube.
Counsel assisting the Royal Commission, Richard Lancaster, criticized the platform's inability to effectively moderate content, citing its guidelines as inadequate when it comes to hateful speech.
A notable example of this deficiency is a video suggesting the Bondi Beach massacre was a false flag event that remained on the platform for months.
