Yoon Sang -jik (Liberal Korean Party, for now People Power Party), a member of the National Assembly's Science and Broadcasting and Communications Committee, claimed that Google is suspected of blacklisting right-wing YouTubers who criticize the Moon Jae-in administration.
The evidence is based on direct analysis of the responses of 13 channels that sent direct emails to the top 35 YouTube channels with subscribers, including JungGuJae, Pen n MikeTV, Garosero Research Institute, TV Hong Ka Cola, Kim Moon-su TV, and Mediawatch TV. etc..
Is it really true? We conducted a real experiment with the staff of lawmaker. Yoon Sang -jik's office.
A famous right-wing YouTuber channel posted a 10-minute white test screen. However, two minutes after it was posted, a yellow ticket was confirmed.
A yellow label is a yellow dollar-shaped icon that is placed when a video is deemed to be in violation of YouTube's terms and conditions, which restricts the types of ads that can be placed before, behind, or in the middle of the content, or it cannot be placed at all.
However, even though there was no reconsideration application and approval process, the video was changed back to a blue ticket in just one minute.
The video on another right-wing YouTuber's channel was labeled yellow in advance, even though it was "private."
lawmaker Yoon Sang -jik said "This means that there is a possibility that YouTube will operate its policy by attaching a yellow label to YouTubers who criticize the current regime to 'critical' YouTubers first."
It is possible to issue a yellow ticket at the beginning of a lot of subscribers watching to limit YouTubers' advertising revenue, and then change it to a blue ticket after a certain period when subscribers' interest decreases.
This means that there may be a "blacklist" against conservative YouTubers.
An official close to lawmaker. Yoon said, "If a conservative YouTuber's video is labeled with a yellow tag, it is possible that a certain group took the so-called 'coordinates' with the aim of drastically reducing advertising revenue.
In this regard, YouTube said, "According to its own content guidelines, 11 items such as 'inappropriate language,' 'violence,' and 'hateful content' are subject to yellow labels." However, in response to this, lawmaker. Yoon pointed out, "There is a problem that (Google Korea's) explanation is insufficient and the examples are not clear and are abstract."
