Google’s YouTube took down over 11.4 million videos between April and June, the company said in its Community Guidelines Enforcement report. The numbers are significantly higher than the videos – under 9 million – removed in the same period last year. The change has happened mainly because the company relied more on its algorithms instead of human moderators.
YouTube said it took down 1,998,635 channels and 2,132,367,731 comments during the said period.
According to the report, YouTube took down 10,849,643 videos through automatic flagging. About 382,499 videos were taken down through user reports. YouTube’s individual trusted flaggers helped taking down 167,318 videos.
