YouTube CEO Promises to Tackle “Misinformation” to Win Over Corporate Cash
YouTube’s CEO is continuing to position the Big Tech platform as a direct competitor to legacy TV, as she commits to censoring more content to win over big advertisers who want “safe,” conformist content.
During its Brandcast presentation that took place last week, YouTube claimed it is now a direct competitor to traditional TV.
“We’re so excited to be at the upfront this year,” YouTube’s CEO Susan Wojcicki said. “We’re here because YouTube is the mainstream.”
Wojcicki also said that YouTube has a “deep commitment” to censor misinformation.
“We have a very deep commitment to responsibly protecting our community and making sure that we are on the right side of history.
We have invested in our people, policies, and machine learning technology to make sure that we can responsibly tackle misinformation,” Wojcicki said, in an attempt to attract big brands.
