The rules are still vague - depending on how “strong” YouTube deems your swearing to be, you could be eligible for full ads, reduced ads, or full demonetization. YouTube promised to change the rules, but they still penalize creators for swearing, even if it is less intense. Under the rules, if a creator swore within the first 15 seconds of a video or swore “heavily” throughout, their content could be demonetized, meaning no ads would run and they couldn’t make money from it. Take YouTube for example, which rolled back its controversial swearing rules earlier this year. However, many sites have gone past censoring offensive speech into just censoring speech. Removing or demonetizing content that spreads hate speech or misinformation is honestly a public service. To be fair, there’s nothing wrong with moderating what happens on your site. To appeal to advertisers the most, social media corporations utilize content moderation to create the most friendly spaces imaginable. In our progress, we’ve lost the freedom that defined the internet for so long. Their actions are designed to appeal to advertisers, even if they undermine the individuality of their users. Social media companies are businesses first and foremost. You can personalize the page, but you can’t really make it your own. You can’t change your background or font colors, the font itself, text sizes or even have your favorite song jamming in the back. While it might seem like a lot, that’s the extent of it. What can you customize? Your header image, your profile picture, your display name, your bio, your location and your website.
