Youtube expands the ideology of the far right

  • U.S. Conservatives use Youtube to convey racist and anti-feminist messages.

Mezu arrazista eta antifeministak zabaltzen ari da plataforma.

According to the conclusions of a study conducted by researcher Rebecca Lewis, Youtube has become an effective platform for the far right. In total, it has analyzed 81 television channels and confirmed the presence of racist and anti-feminist messages on the social network Twitter.

“These youtubers are considered victims and often say they have been censored, but it’s not true,” Lewis says. Youtube Spain has explained to the Public Journal that “we promote freedom of opinion. Therefore, we accept all ideologies unless there is a message of hatred.” On the contrary, the researcher has denounced that the messages of hatred in the 81 channels analyzed in the study are "obvious".

94% of Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four are followers of the videos, so Youtube has become an excellent platform when it comes to spreading its ideology.

Lewis added that, in addition to spreading messages, they earn money through Super Chat, “followers buy Super Chat to highlight their messages.” He says that some of the money is also for the Youtube platform, “that’s why it’s in Youtube’s interest not to censor the messages from the far right.”
