YouTube, Meta and other tech giants have pledged to take steps toward fighting online extremism as a part of a White House Initiative on hate-motivated violence.

FOX Business' Connell McShane reports from Capitol Hill, where Twitter whistleblower Peiter Zatko told lawmakers concerns were raised to executives about 'foreign agents' being employed.

The video-sharing platform also committed to launching an educational media literacy campaign to assist younger users in particular in identifying manipulation tactics used to spread misinformation.In this photo illustration, a Youtube logo seen displayed on a smartphone. YouTube spokesperson Elena Hernandez told The Associated Press then that the company has "invested heavily in policies and products in all countries we operate to connect people to authoritative content, reduce the spread of borderline misinformation, and remove violative videos."

Twitch is releasing a tool that empowers its streamers and their communities to help counter hate and harassment and further individualize the safety experience of their channels. The platform will also launch new community education initiatives on topics including identifying harmful misinformation and deterring hateful violence.

If you are a Republican you are screwed!!

Extremism policed on one side only no doubt.

And by extremism I'm sure we are talking about one side, right?

I want my freedom to speech!!! And is in the Construction.

We’ll see about that

The problem is that YouTube and Meta, and other tech media companies like them, ARE THE ONLINE EXTREMISTS.

The problem with social media profilling people to being extremist is some times its a person that has real life opinion that doesn't agree with the media

Would this extremism be anyone that disagrees with the government.?
