YouTube issued a statement about the advertisements, noting the company employs “policies against ads on YouTube that incite hatred or promote discrimination, and all ads that run on the platform have to comply with these policies.” YouTube added that creators have the power to block certain groups from advertising on their channels.
“Even when an ad does not violate our policies, we understand that creators may not want ads from certain advertisers appearing on their videos,” a YouTube representative told Polygon. “That’s why we give creators the ability to block ads from an advertiser in their AdSense account. We also give creators the option to block certain categories of ads if they choose. In the meantime, we are looking at ways to improve our policies going forward.”
Hahahaha like an automatic system ever stopped a right wing fucknut. Fuck off YouTube until you decide to actively monitor and moderate aggressive and evil advertisers.
