I’m more interested in the rapid increase of uploads to YouTube. They had to change something. Especially considering last I heard they still lose money on YouTube, it’s crazy the infrastructure YouTube is actually running.

Interesting perspective, a way for google to shift toward lucrative corporate content only while having a stab and blaming the EU for the it.

Well, I'm not necessarily supporting this decision, I'm just trying to see things from their perspective. They seem very unstable out the moment and as soon as advertisers choose not to advertise on certain videos they go into panic mode, all while having an unpredictable algorithm running everything in the background.

 

I don't think we appreciate how impressive the YouTube infrastructure is and also how expensive it is to run. There is clearly too much content being uploaded so they're going to have to figure something out. At this rate, 1200 hours of content will be uploaded per minute by 2020! It's ridiculous.

I'd blow my fucking head off with a shotgun before having to pay to watch a youtube video. Like I'm already paying for internet...

It can falsely flag videos and it has happened to me before, a news channel claiming a Overwatch video

That's not what I'm talking about though. I'm well aware of the downsides of a filtering system, including ContentID.

 

What I'm asking is why the requirement to have a filter would be a problem for Youtube as a company. Because they already have such a filter.

Like i say'd its unreliable falsely flags videos but also does't flag certain videos that are speed up or distorted slightly.

The law/regulations say nothing about it actually have to be 100% accurate. It just say it's need "reasonable effort" or something. In my mind, that means basically that they need to be working on improving it when they notice something it does wrong, not that it needs to be perfect.

 

Google doesn't have to do what they say they are going to so because of the law to not break it, they just say it because they just want it to happen and want citizens like the regular person to be more against it to make it less likely to happen.

 

The not copy too much of a news article and share it without original news site getting anything is more of a big deal for Google than that. Because they already have an filter on YouTube.

A million people in reeducation camps vs. some regulations on multinational corporations. Yes I can see how that's definitely comparable.
