00:00:03.455 --> 00:00:06.175
Everyone loves Youtube

00:00:06.175 --> 00:00:09.644
An endless library of great videos
you can watch for free

00:00:10.375 --> 00:00:13.786
But we don't all love 
Youtube's recommendations

00:00:13.849 --> 00:00:17.299
And seventy percent of viewing time
on the platform, is driven by

00:00:17.299 --> 00:00:23.292
videos they suggest. Sometimes the videos
Youtube recommends are weird or off-topic.

00:00:23.292 --> 00:00:29.552
But sometimes, they are downright harmful.
Mozilla has heard from people

00:00:29.552 --> 00:00:34.755
who were recommended anti-LGBT content,
videos that encourage eating disorders,

00:00:34.755 --> 00:00:39.865
fake claims about fraudelent elections,
and much more. Youtube says

00:00:39.865 --> 00:00:44.545
it has improved its algorithm,
but Mozilla's latest research finds

00:00:44.545 --> 00:00:49.248
it still suggests videos that are racist,
misogynistic, conspiratorial,

00:00:49.248 --> 00:00:53.916
or misinformation. Sometimes
it even suggests videos that breach

00:00:53.916 --> 00:00:58.736
Youtube's very own content guidelines,
videos that Youtube later removed

00:00:58.736 --> 00:01:02.246
for being harmful, dangerous, 
or deceptive.

00:01:02.246 --> 00:01:04.276
It's got to stop.

00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.439
It's up to us to get Youtube to change.
