COVID-19 auf YouTube

„How covid-19 conspiracy theorists are exploiting YouTube culture – Covid-19 conspiracy theorists are still getting millions of views on YouTube, even as the platform cracks down on health misinformation. – When the notorious conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was kicked off YouTube and Facebook in 2018, the lesson was supposed to be that deplatforming works. Without access to his millions of followers on mainstream social media, Jones became an online ghost, diminished and shouting his dangerous unfinished business to a much smaller audience. – But some people online took a second lesson from the change: conspiracy theories, and the people who promote them, can get a lot of views – and money. … Experts have said that social-media platforms’ moves to prioritize reliable information and demonetize, limit the reach of, or outright remove content containing misinformation can help limit its spread. But platforms have struggled with effective enforcement. Health misinformation poses its own challenges, and existing conspiracy theories and false claims are adapting and spreading in the current pandemic faster than fact-checking – or sometimes science – can catch up.“
