BREAKING: UK GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUTUBE ALGORITHM This is pure authoritarianism Keir Starmer’s/Andy Burnham’s Government is set to control the YouTube algorithm by LAW stipulating that they must push “APPROVED CONTENT” to UK Citizens And independent voices who criticise the government will be pushed to the back of the queue making it harder for people to find YouTube has acknowledged this is happening This must be stopped
The UK Government is literally trying to force-feed you BBC garbage They’re not even hiding it anymore. They’ve made a new “consultation” demanding that YouTube shove traditional broadcasters (BBC, ITV, Channel 4) into a “privileged position” on your feed while pushing independent creators down Because apparently the British public is too stupid to decide what they want to watch. They need the state’s propaganda machine to decide the “correct” content for them This is algorithmic welfare for dying propaganda outlets The British public rejected these clowns, so now the state wants to rig discovery and call it “trusted media” This is the government trying to slap BBC propaganda directly in front of your face and calling it “truth” It’s literally the BBC we’re talking about…..the most evil scum news outlet on Earth. Soon you’ll have North Korea-style state propaganda running in every British household, with people having no option to choose what they actually want to see This crap needs to be burned to the ground
The U.K. wants to choose what you watch YouTube is telling its UK creators to push back against a government plan that would force it to show some channels ahead of others. The rules would park the big broadcasters, the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and 5, at the top of your feed whether you asked for them or not. YouTube: “This could severely limit your channel’s ability to grow.” Space at the top is finite, so every slot they get is one taken from the smaller creators you actually came to watch. Sold as fighting misinformation, it’s really the state deciding whose videos reach you first. Governments don’t usually rearrange your feed to hand you more choice. source: Deadline, FT / Writer: Daniyal
