The Jewish YouTube site has been instructing their moderators to censor any content that could be perceived as being pro-Russian. A Polish contractor leaked materials showing that this is in fact YouTube’s official policy.

A tutorial for YouTube’s content moderators that emerged on social media on Tuesday shows that the Google-owned platform has labeled a number of critical positions on the conflict in Ukraine “hateful” or “extreme” and can censor or demonetize creators on those grounds. While the parent company Alphabet has not confirmed or denied the screenshots’ authenticity, a Polish contractor who shared them has reportedly been fired.
Six screenshots shared by Russian journalist Andrey Guselnikov on Telegram show internal codes and examples of what YouTube has labeled “harmful” or “hateful” content in an online course mandated for content moderators.
According to the slides, the “glorification/promotion of [the] ‘Z’ symbol associated with the Russian military” is labeled “hate” and “extreme” under policy ID 864. So is saying that the conflict “is to denazify the Ukrainian government,” which is what Russian President Vladimir Putin said in February.
Saying that “Ukraine military is attacking its own people” is also considered problematic, ranging from “harmful-misinformation-moderate” (ID 862) to “harmful-misinformation-extreme” (ID 863) if the powers that be decide it amounts to “promotion or glorification.”
There was no clarification whether either standard would apply to factual reports of Ukrainian artillery targeting Ukrainian citizens living in territories under Russian control, for example.
Here are a couple of the screenshots that were leaked.
It was obvious that this was happening. This leak just proves what we’ve known all along.
YouTube’s content moderation has largely been centered around removing hateful content that is alleged to hurt the feelings of people. It has been this way for years. The fact that they are banning pro-Russian content indicates that they are defining “hate” content as any content that disagrees with official ZOG narratives.
That’s because being pro-Russia is not being explicitly hateful. So the fact that they are trying to define this material as “hate” proves that their real policy is just banning any content they have disagreements with.
The censorship of pro-Russian material across all of the big social media sites has been unbelievably extreme. You could argue that it has been even more extreme than what they did with the COVID-19 hoax and that was very extreme in its own right.
