I know, I know.

On the other hand, with actors as large as YouTube, whatever policies they implement, will have second order effects. It's impossible to be impartial or neutral, whatever you do will tilt the scale one way or the other.

That’s not the case anymore, according to an analysis by the nonprofit Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).
