    Following complaints over the number of unwelcome videos appearing in recommendations, the Google-owned site says it plans to try and banish them.

    It says ‘borderline’ videos that come close to violating community guidelines or those which ‘misinform users in a harmful way.’ will now be excluded…

    MISINFORM.. USERS.. IN A HARMFUL WAY…

    Who judges? Who determines?

    MORE..

    ‘We’ll begin reducing recommendations of borderline content and content that could misinform users in harmful ways—such as videos promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, claiming the earth is flat, or making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11.’

    YouTube says the decision affects less than 1 percent of videos – but this will still impact millions of clips.

    ‘We think this change strikes a balance between maintaining a platform for free speech and living up to our responsibility to users,’ YouTube said.

    However, it will not ban the videos.

    ‘To be clear, this will only affect recommendations of what videos to watch, not whether a video is available on YouTube.’

    Once inside, she says that Weinstein eventually forced himself on her, raping her at the edge of his Jacuzzi…

    A new film called Untouchable is documenting the role the media played in allowing monstrous behavior to go on..

    The DAILY BEAST writes

    The New Yorker’s Ken Auletta opens up about his lengthy 2002 profile of Weinstein in the magazine, and how he’d failed to include any abuse allegations in the piece—even though he’d managed to track down Perkins in Guatemala, and heard the sex-abuse rumblings. A.J. Benza, the former Daily News gossip columnist who Weinstein is said to have used to help kill negative stories, features prominently, as does New York magazine’s Rebecca Traister, who recounts a bizarre incident where Weinstein repeatedly called her a “cunt” at a glitzy Manhattan soiree before putting her then-boyfriend Andrew Goldman, also a journalist, into a headlock and punching the top of his head in front of a gaggle of partygoers and paparazzi. 

    “I never saw one photo,” Traister says in the film, even though “hundreds” were snapped of Weinstein manhandling the reporter. 

    And The New York Times, the very paper that broke the story of Weinstein’s alleged serial abuse, published what amounts to a Miramax press release on the ugly episode, pinning the blame mostly on Traister and Goldman for being pushy interlopers.
    “I’m glad I’m the sheriff of this shit-ass fucking town,” Goldman recounts Weinstein saying before he got physical.
