PewDiePie explains why YouTube\u2019s new hate speech policy is \u201cbizarre\u201d YouTube \/ PewDiePieYouTube star, Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg explained why he thinks YouTube\u2019s new hate speech policy is \u201cbizarre\u201d, following the controversial #VoxAdpocalypse scandal with Steven Crowder and Carlos Maza. YouTube\u2019s community guidelines have always been quite vague when it comes to dealing with hate speech on their platform and has often been left up to interpretation. However, following some of the backlash facing Steven Crowder\u2019s words about Carlos Maza, YouTube announced that they would be revising some of their policies regarding hate speech, which left many YouTuber\u2019s worried after channels began to get demonetized on the platform. Popular Swedish YouTuber, PewDiePie, explained the potential effects that these new \u2018hate speech\u2019 community guidelines would have on what content is allowed on the platform, in his latest installment of \u201cPew News.\u201d After breaking down the latest updates to Steven Crowder\u2019s channel, which was demonetized for a \u2018pattern of egregious actions, which harmed the LGBTQ community\u2019, Felix said that he was worried about the impact the event would have on other creators. \u201cI think what really matters here is the effect,\u201d PewDiePie explained, \u201cthere\u2019s definitely even tighter restrictions here on YouTube.\u201d Topic starts at 4:57 for mobile users. PewDiePie gave an example of a history channel, which featured clips on Nazi policy and propaganda speeches by Nazi leaders, getting banned for \u2018hate speech\u2019, and the effects that these new guidelines could have. He calling for YouTube to \u201cdo a better job,\u201d saying, \u201dDelete hateful content by all means, but then at least make sure you know what hateful content is.\u201d He then followed up claiming that the new policies were bizarre to him, as they would seem to be based on the broader impact to a community rather than the individual action, referring to the case of Steven Crowder and Carlos Maza.
