The report, called the Community Guidelines Enforcement report, tells us how YouTube deals with things that people find wrong in videos and how they make sure their rules are followed.
The big person in charge of YouTube in India, Ishan John Chatterjee, talked about how super important it is to stop false information, especially when technology and smart computers are getting stronger. In India, more than 1.9 million videos had to be taken down ’cause they didn’t follow the rules. In the United States, around 654,968 videos were removed, and in countries like Russia and Brazil, it was even more.
