LGBTQ creators sue YouTube, alleging that the video platform was regularly restricting their abilities to make money with their videos based on their sexual orientation.
They also allege that their videos are regularly being demonetized, that YouTube changes their thumbnail videos, and excludes them from content recommendations, resulting in suppressed view counts.
"Defendants' control and regulation of speech on YouTube has resulted in a chaotic cesspool where popular, compliant, top quality, and protected LGBTQ+ content is restricted, stigmatized, and demonetized as"shocking,""inappropriate,""offensive," and"sexually explicit," while homophobic and racist hatemongers run wild and are free to post vile and obscene content on the pages and channels of the LGBTQ+ Plaintiffs and other LGBTQ+ content creators.
The lawsuit alleges that this was just a PR exercise:"Instead of taking LGBTQ+ reports of viewpoint discrimination and selective restrictions on LGBTQ+ content seriously, Ms. Wojcicki spent some of her"personal vacation" time doing carefully scripted PR or"selfie" interviews with selected YouTubers."
