There are, but only for using IP of large corporations. If you put 12 seconds of a major label song in your video review of an album, that video belongs to the major label now.

It is really interesting how YouTube can detect short snippets of movies and songs but there are many full audiobooks illegally uploaded for years.

Movie and music studios are far more litigious

Indeed, and the Revanced apk customisation on Android, and SmartTube on Google TV. I've not seen an ad from Youtube for probably 10+ years on my devices (since whenever Vanced made the apk customisations popular).

I don't need Revanced as I already have uBlock Origin.

For YouTube on a desktop OS you also want Sponsorblock. On a mobile OS, you want Revanced/Morphe as it integrates Sponsorblock into the app.

I've noticed on YouTube I see a lot of adult sexual ads. Things like home cleaning ads that have an unmistakable wood-grain image of fellatio. I've always wondered "how are these getting past the moderators?". I guess the answer is the obvious one: no one is moderating anything.

The more surprising thing with YouTube is how much obvious copyright infringement is in ads. The whole platform seems oriented around copyright enforcement, but ads seem to get a pass.

What copyright infringement did you see in an ad?

Weird how they never thought to require ID verification for advertisers hmmm

for real. if you want to make the web safer for children, start by holding ad networks to a higher accountability. it's painfully obvious "protect the children" is not the real goal.

Politicians don't count.

LW politicians don't count. If there was an ad calling for violence against an RW politician it'd be taken down and the poster would go to jail.

Actually it’s for a right wing politician and there are many variations.

Out of curiosity, I've ran some experiments on Facebook for stuff like this. Results: - Reporting a message does nothing no matter how much the content breaks their terms of use. 100% of messages I reported bounced back in a matter of minutes with "no action" - However, using the "request another review" function, which is available after the initial "no action" response, actually seems to work. How quickly this work…

Interesting, I've kind of made a hobby of reporting scams and hate speech and watching it take a week to come back with "it's no violation", requesting another and getting the same response in another week. I've never seen them do anything no matter how obvious or awful it is.

You have to actually, honestly, fall for the scam and lose all your money and only then will you have standing to sue Meta for making you lose all your money. You won't be able to afford to sue them, of course.

36 million CSAM media removed in 2025? Why aren't millions of people in jail? Wtf?

In most western countrys, is often more than 50% from CSAM from underaged teenagers, like selfies etc. And then are cases like some overmotivated parents post nude baby pictures. I guess such pictures also get flaged. But even if its just 50%, 18 million, your point still standes. Why are not more people in jail.

I don't think parents should overshare pictures of their kids, but FYI, nudity does not automatically mean porn or abuse, even of children (which is legal in the U.S. as long as it is not sexual or focuses on genitals).
