But now, Mohan claims that YouTube gives everybody a chance to share their ideas freely, while the “openness” of this concept is, allegedly, what’s behind the power of YouTube.
He further stated that videos that represent voices he or anybody else might disagree with should not be removed for that reason, and then, perhaps aware of how ironic all this might sound, attempted to explain why “different voices” are being silenced – it’s adherence to a “robust set of community guidelines.”
Apparently referring to the fact that these guidelines have been getting ever more restrictive, Mohan added that they have been “evolving.” As for where these rules come from and what their justification is, the YouTube exec mentioned “established third party experts” such as government authorities and advocacy groups.
