2020-05-26 | YouTube is deleting comments with two phrases that insult China’s Communist Party - The Verge

'YouTube is automatically deleting comments that contain certain Chinese-language phrases related to criticism of the country’s ruling Communist Party (CCP). '

'These phrases seem to have been accidentally added to YouTube’s comment filters, which automatically remove spam and offensive text. '

'Most notably, it created a prototype search engine known as Project Dragonfly that complied with Chinese state censorship. '

'As mentioned above, though, The Verge also found complaints on YouTube’s official help pages dated to October 2019. '

'The automatic deletion of these phrases was highlighted on Tuesday by US technologist and former Oculus founder Palmer Luckey on Twitter. '
