LGBTQ+ YouTube content creators recently noticed that YouTube's platform has been filtering LGBTQ+ content out with its Restricted Mode. This function is meant for parents who want to filter out inappropriate content on YouTube for their kids. YouTube responded saying that videos had been mislabeled and thus caused the restriction to occur.
I think this event is important in our understanding of how LGBTQ+ topics are intertwined with issues that can be deemed 'inappropriate', and therefore endangering its position in media and its access. Would love to hear any similar stories!
