Her father is a Polish American named Stanley Wojcicki, and her mother a Russian Jew. Interestingly enough, her one sister is Anne Wojcicki, the founder of 23andme.

Oy Vey!

Interesting that she's related to the 23andme founder.

They're giving out a lot of content strikes for things they would have never given for in the past. Christian channels are affected as well, Pastor Steven Anderson received a ton of strikes for his channel for sermons against Hinduism, Judaism, feminism (he only used to get strikes if he preached a really hard sermon against sodomites, for example):



Even worse,



The overwhelming majority of the content policing is carried out by algorithms. The algorithms make for an easy rebuttal against charges of political bias: it’s not us, it’s the algorithm. But it's people who write, test and monitor the algorithms. What's more, Youtube has a network of "trusted flaggers" who police the platform for so-called hate speech to terror-related content. The left-wing SPLC is counted among those "trusted flaggers" assisting them in censoring content. Here's how the program works:

The program goes back to 2012 but exploded in size in recent years amid a Google push to increase regulation of the content on its platforms, which followed pressure from advertisers. Fifty of the 113 program members joined in 2017 as YouTube stepped up its content policing, YouTube public policy director Juniper Downs told a Senate committee in January.

Downs said the third-party groups work closely with YouTube’s employees to crack down on extremist content in two ways, both of which a Google spokesperson previously confirmed to TheDC.

First, the flaggers are equipped with digital tools allowing them to mass flag content for review by YouTube personnel. Second, the partner groups act as guides to YouTube’s content monitors and engineers designing the algorithms policing the video platform but may lack the expertise needed to tackle a given subject.

“We work with over 100 organizations as part of our Trusted Flagger program and we value the expertise these organizations bring to flagging content for review. All trusted flaggers attend a YouTube training to learn about our policies and enforcement processes. Videos flagged by trusted flaggers are reviewed by YouTube content moderators according to YouTube’s Community Guidelines. Content flagged by trusted flaggers is not automatically removed or subject to any differential policies than content flagged from other users,” said a YouTube spokesperson, who would not specifically comment on the SPLC’s participation in the program.

The problem is, the SPLC is not entirely unbiased. It has faced criticism for its liberal and inclusive definitions of what a "hate group" or "extremist" entails.

e.g. SPLC Says Army Bases Are Confederate Monuments That Need To Come Down

Southern Poverty Law Center apologizes to Ben Carson, takes him off 'extremist’ list

Why Is the Southern Poverty Law Center Targeting Liberals?

Susan Wojcicki, new CEO of YouTube, has made many unpopular changes at YouTube, including so-called "hate speech" censorship, demonetizing some videos, etc etc.. has now made her own YouTube channel. But check the comments to her first video, lol, and see how fedup YouTubers are with the changes she has brought in. And btw, yes, she's from "the Tribe".

Yes, that's what I'm thinking as well. As soon as there's a viable, popular alternative, YouTubers will jump ship. But of course, it takes a lot for a new site to become even half as busy as YouTube.. and they know it. They currently have a monopoly. They also have enough cash to buy out any potential rivals that may appear on the scene.

YouTube Will Link Directly to Wikipedia to Fight Conspiracy Theories

Wojcicki announced the new feature, which she called "information cues"(...). Here’s how it will work: If you search and click on a conspiracy theory video about, say, chemtrails, YouTube will now link to a Wikipedia page that debunks the hoax alongside the video. A video calling into question whether humans have ever landed on the moon might be accompanied by the official Wikipedia page about the Apollo Moon landing in 1969. Wojcicki says the feature will only include conspiracy theories right now that have "significant debate" on the platform.

"Our goal is to start with a list of internet conspiracies listed on the internet where there is a lot of active discussion on YouTube," Wojcicki said.(...)

She must be a Quora user.

Fuck her, and all the liberals like her, who think they're smarter than anyone who doesn't think like them.
