This week on Platform News, YouTube hiding conspiracy videos from recommendations, saying that conspiracy videos are to blame for the spread of Fake News on YouTube. Is this move an attack on Freedom of Speech? Can we trust the YouTube  A.I. to appropriately determine which videos are conspiracies?   

The YouTube Freedom of Speech guideline states that all opinions are welcome to be expressed, or broadcasted, on their platform, provided that it does no harm to another. With YouTube hiding videos, and with YouTube cracking down on Conspiracy videos, is the YouTube platform in direct violation of their own policies?  

These are very real questions, as YouTube hiding conspiracy videos isn't the only thing that's been happening on the platform lately, or we could be just taking this whole conspiracy videos nonsense and blowing it out of proportion!   

What do you think of YouTube conspiracies? Do you believe Fake News on YouTube has been spurred on by conspiracy videos? Do you think YouTube should leave conspiracy videos alone? Let me know in the comments!
