YouTube's CEO Doesn't Think That Logan Paul Should Be Banned From The Platform

[My Everything]

 

Paul's videos are "egregious," according to YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, but he hasn't violated the company's "three strikes" policy yet.

 

YouTube has terminated business deals and suspended ads on controversial star Logan Paul's channel after he published a video showing the hanging body of a dead man, but its CEO doesn’t think he should be kicked off the platform.

 

At Recode’s Code Media conference in Huntington Beach, California, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki said Paul’s videos — one of which shows him tasering a dead rat — showed "a pattern of egregious behavior," but that he hasn’t violated the company’s "three strikes" policy.

 

“We do have a three strikes rule, and if somebody violates [our policies] three times, we do terminate those accounts and we do that all the time,†Wojcicki said. “He hasn’t done anything that would cause those three strikes. We can’t just be pulling people off our platform ... They need to violate a policy. We need to have consistent [rules]. This is like a code of law.â€

 

Last week, YouTube announced that it was taking steps to punish creators who violate its policies, including restricting their ability to make money from YouTube ads and preventing their videos from appearing on YouTube’s homepage.

 

When asked if YouTube thinks of itself has a media company, Wojcicki said that YouTube was a “technology platform,†an excuse that Silicon Valley’s biggest companies have been using for years to avoid responsibility when their tools and service are abused by bad actors.

 

“What you think is tasteless is not necessarily what someone else would see as tasteless,†Wojcicki said. “We need to have consistent laws codified in our policies so that [our system] can be trained and we can apply it consistently to millions of videos and millions of creators.â€

 

Paul has almost 17 million subscribers on YouTube and made an estimated $1 million a month before YouTube suspended his ads.

 

A Change.org petition demanding that he be removed from YouTube had more than 600,000 signatures at the time of publication.

I'm 100% sure filming a dead person's suicide is tasteless in any language, religion, or culture; As far as I concern Youtube can say whatever they want to say, reality won't change; he should had be banned

“He hasn’t done anything that would cause those three strikes. We can’t just be pulling people off our platform ..

Then what in the hell qualifies for those three strikes then? 

 

Just say you're scared of losing all that money that they get from a bunch of 10 and 11 year olds you coward 

[tide]

i like how showing a dead body has as much weight as uploading music illegally

ahh money

[coval]

so according to them logan still has one strike left

strike 1: showing dead body

strike 2: cruelty to animals

strike 3: will probably be next week at this rate

[Loonathehoe]

People can get an strike for using copyrighted music but he gets none for the dead body thing? Mmmm, I see

[xingyi]

They demonetize and delete videos for bs but cant ban this trash? 

[MyWangAndOnlyJiminie]

..........................................

 

Posting a video of a dead body and laughing about it (AND making money from exploiting the dead body) wouldn't be considered as tasteless to some people?

 

This CEO is a greedy moron whos head is so far up Logan's ass that the fumes must be messing with his brain. 

[U R Messy AF]

Okay, Susan  Let's see how long it takes for other assholes to do the same thing, now that they know there are no consequences. But who gives a damn about the ethical implications so long as you're making money, right? You might as well have just said

 

 

to the whole thing and moved on. What a fucking joke.

[legendnctzen]

Greedy as hell, he's just saying that bc he wants the money. It's kinda sad but the entire YouTube community is just dissolving bc of ad issues and etc. 

[Overhaul]

What a moron

[Oodles]

He showed a dead body?!

 

But If Logan wasn’t white the CEO wouldn’t be saying this lol.

[MelanatedBeauty]

Money is power baby youtube ceo knows that he can do whatever in this instance yall still gonna use youtube

Daily motion?

 

 

 

Youtube CEO gives no fucks UNTIL someone puts heat on that ass aka another successful service like youtube comes along to give him a run for his money and even then will it? -looks at someone like Nicki Minaj in comparison to youtube's ceo stopping people's bags-
