Bandages are very common, even at hospitals. The solution isn't just to pretend nothing's wrong until the patient bleeds to death. There's other steps here too, I continue to advocate for education and culture shift. I've spoken specifically to both the public and lawmakers about the importance of inclusion. The work isn't done.
Don't get me wrong, YouTube is deeply flawed in its implementation of moderation. The website is borderline unsupervised when it comes to human beings, and the algorithm/AI has been very destructive. That's not the fault of rules as a concept though. There are so many rules, which in theory, I'm prepared to defend even if they aren't working in practice. Does it suck when I'm falsely accused of violating copyright? Yes. Would it also suck to have no recourse if my work got stolen? Absolutely. Could they allow adult imagery and I just filter it out on my end? Yes. Is it a huge overreach that they don't allow child pornography? No. The line does have to be drawn somewhere.
I've just seen too much abuse stemming from censorship, including second hand accounts(From friends and family) of people getting dissapeared due to it.
as soon as you propose me a system that will stop such abuse and have censorship i'll concede.
but for now it seems like moderating free speech(which in itself is already an ironical statement) is just marginalizing groups which have genuine concerns - and push them further and further to the extremes. It's like sweeping problems under the rug, and you lose all the signals of problems in soceity as a policymaker.
