>Will "trusted flaggers" be allowed to make Dabiq inaccessable?

The answer is no. This post is about YouTube. Presumably a magazine won't be impacted. Also, new content is not being removed, but rather:

"If we find that these videos don’t violate our policies but contain controversial religious or supremacist content, they will be placed in a limited state. The videos will remain on YouTube behind an interstitial, won’t be recommended, won’t be monetized, and won’t have key features including comments, suggested videos, and likes."

Which is ironically not dissimilar from your suggestion that hateful and ignorant views be taught in context to school children.

You comment reminds me of those news stories where the headline is a question. When you read the article, the answer is always, "No."



Right. The content won't be banned, it just won't be allowed to have any significant audience. Much like protests weren't banned - you can still protest, but 20 miles away from the venue, where there are no cameras or reporters.


It's already pretty difficult for magazines and pdf files to gain a significant audience on YouTube.
