Tech giant YouTube on Wednesday said that it would block any content aimed at spreading misinformation around any approved Coronavirus vaccines worldwide in an extension of its policy about removing content on misinformation about the Coronavirus.
The company also said that it had removed over 130 thousand videos in the past year, which violated its Coronavirus policy.
Speaking to Radio Islam International, Prasanto Roy, a Tech policy and media professional and columnist for the India Times and BBC, noted that the problem of miss-information is aggravated in the developing world, where video content is consumed more than that of text.
