i can well and truly say that most of you have no idea the kind of abhorrent filth that is succeeding wildly on youtube. multiple videos claiming LBGT folks are advocating pedophilia with 400k+ views. open white nationalism. open antisemitism. it is scary - & profitable.
Twitter is bad at keeping Nazis down. But Youtube is actively making sure they profit off radicalizing children.
This video has 624,000 views.
this video attacking franchesca ramsay has over 1 million views
This video entitled “How Women Weaken Nations” has 434,000 views.
Thousands of people are making a living peddling hate to young people and that’s baked in to @Youtube’s business model. I have been profoundly shaken by what I’ve seen. It is abhorrent.
And trust me when I say this is barely even beginning to scratch the surface.
This rancid fucking filth is making money. Lots of money. And it's directed at your kids.

Watch the fuck out for what your teens are watching on Youtube. Check their histories. Talk to them about it. YouTube sure isn't going to enforce it's anti-hate-speech clause.
This excellent editorial by @zeynep goes deeper into this issue: nytimes.com/2018/03/10/opi…
Thanks, @TeamYouTube, for ensuring scumbags like this, who are making me, my family and friends and loved ones less safe, continue to turn a profit and reach impressionable young minds.
anyway, watching all this stuff was about as fun as drinking bleach, so go follow @mmfa and @peltzmadeline who is both a great researcher and a very kind human
Here's the article that @peltzmadeline and I wrote that came out of this research. Take a look and note the violence of these videos -- and the utter toothlessness of @TeamYouTube 's hate speech policy, when Holocaust deniers & racists have huge platforms: mediamatters.org/blog/2018/09/0…
