    Thanks for breaking this down, Phil. As we mentioned on Twitter, we’ve seen no recent evidence of videos promoting the Momo Challenge on CZcams. Videos encouraging harmful and dangerous challenges are clearly against our policies, the Momo Challenge included. As you mention to parents, we encourage everyone on CZcams to continue to flag content that might violate our Community Guidelines.

    • @jordanious7711
      @jordanious7711 Před 5 lety +29

      because war between India and Pakistan is incredibly unlikely. Tension between the 2 is at record lows, racism between the people is at record lows and government awareness of popular opinion is at record highs in both countries too.
      The argument is about what to do with the terrorist hiding spots in Pakistan. Pak want to sort it out themselves but they do a shit job of it whereas India want to send people in to do it themselves. The "war" isn't even a possible escalation because India will just pull out and Pakistan have no ambition to do anything in india.

Unfortunately though I see so many other parents rather than take these moments to reinforce boundaries and rules with their children and make sure they monitor their children properly they jump to blaming and wanting things to be shutdown.

    Her name name is Ubume and she is a sculpture by Keisuke Aisawa (an SFX artist for LINK FACTORY).
    The sculpture was displayed at a gallery in 2016 in Japan. It is of a Japanese yokai Ubume, which is the ghost of a woman who died due to childbirth. She is not even a harmful spirit.

The reporting in this video really helped her understand there's nothing to be afraid of and she was excited to share the info at school. Thanks to you and your team for that.

      Yeah, it's like borderline clickbait.

So I can see why Phil would wanna put something tangentially related and easily associated there instead. Also, a lot of people seem genuinely scared of the image, even when they know what it actually is, and other creators have copped shit for having thumbnails with 'scary/gross/provocative imagery' before (saw at least 3 larger channels have subs mad for trypophobia triggering pics back when that was still a thing lol), so I guess he's just playing it safe.

      The stated policy of the Indian government is to never use nuclear weapons unless another country uses them first.

The danger here is that any escalation from the Indian side may be perceived as invasive by the Pakistani military.

    I still dont get why youtube doesnt have a news category for advertisers. Legit news organisation channels like this one shouldnt be demonetized for education us. There has to be a way to give advisers the choice if they would want their ad to be possibly shown before a news video. If they can choice if they want family friendly content they should be able to choice this as well!

      If you’re referring to their Irwin post, check out Unnatural Vegan’s video.
