In the same time period as the case, YouTube was already regularly taking down or filtering out non-hateful videos made by ex-Muslims and their allies that were critical of Islam.

Gotta say, this is the first time I've listened to the show and got the impression that you were either tech illiterate or corporate shills.

You should consider using a de-essing filter on Liz's audio; her sibilant s sounds are pretty harsh even after her much improved mic.

I was waiting for the "steelbot"

It was a boomer version of nonsense on this episode... Now I want to be clear I love this show the episode was self serving and in no way served the nuance fairly...you both sounded like corporate lawyers working for google

Also just so you know an algorithm can be written to not suggest Nazi videos while suggesting cooking videos

Dexter King Williams

Honestly the worst take in a while.....the reality is I would be happy with no isis or Nazi videos....while I'm positive Clarence Thomas doesn't want the same ....this was a weird amalgamation of arguing with yourself
