YouTube: About Face
July 5, 2019
DarkCyber noted another example of high school science club management methods. “YouTube Reinstates Yanked Ethical Hacking Videos” reports:
YouTube’s clear as mud moderation rules were once again confused this week as the site pulled a bunch of ethical hacking videos, only to reinstate them shortly afterwards.
The UK news source reports that Google allegedly said to another online information service:
“With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call,” a Google spokesperson told The Verge after the videos were restored. “We have an appeals process in place for users, and when it’s brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it.”
The Inquirer.net writes:
Iffy moderation on YouTube. Surely not.
DarkCyber wants to point out that “iffy” is a standard operating procedure when implementing high school science club management methods. The science club is, by definition, correct. There is a corollary about consistency; that is, “What the science club does is, by definition, consistent.
You have to be in the science club to appreciate the truth of this statement.
