While YouTube pulled comments from the House Judiciary Committee's stream of the hearing, users simply moved their comments to other streams.
YouTube shut down the chat feature on a live stream of the House Judiciary Committee's hearing on white nationalism Tuesday after it was inundated with hateful comments.Just around the time that a representative from YouTube parent company Google spoke about the company's content moderation efforts, some noticed the live chat function had already been disabled.
"Hate speech has no place on YouTube. We've invested heavily in teams and technology dedicated to removing hateful comments and videos and we take action on them when flagged by our users," the company said in a statement. As YouTube apparently worked to disable the chat function on the House's official live stream, Alexandria Walden, a Google counsel for free expression and human rights, told congress that users are bound to the company's community guidelines.
