90,000 YouTube videos violated terror policy: Google

Washington: In a bid to crackdown on terror-related content, Google said it has reviewed more than one million suspected terrorist videos on YouTube in the first quarter of 2019 and found 90,000 of such videos violated the company’s terrorism policy.

In a letter sent to the US House Committee on Homeland Security, Google said it spends “hundreds of millions of dollars annually” on reviewing content, CNET reported on Thursday.

The House panel, however, observed that tech companies have failed to provide requested information on fighting terrorist content while Facebook did not respond.
