YouTube<\/a> Is Erasing History. Under pressure to remove \u201cextremist content,\u201d platforms are purging vital human rights evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In war zones, evidence captured on smartphones can provide a path to justice \u2014 but platforms like YouTube<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> are getting in the way. In the Video Op-Ed above, the Syrian activist and archivist\u00a0Hadi Al Khatib\u00a0urges platforms to overhaul and improve their content moderation systems. He fears that automated removal, which in 2017 deleted 10 percent of the archive documenting violence in Syria, risks erasing critical history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube Is Erasing History<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As WITNESS Tech and Advocacy Program Manager\u00a0Dia Kayyali\u00a0explains, there is no clear-cut answer for Facebook and YouTube, which deal with tens of thousands of minutes of video uploaded every second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These platforms have come under intense pressure to\u00a0police extremist content<\/a>\u00a0and have been criticized as\u00a0acting too slowly when killers live-stream mass shootings<\/a>. Algorithms can act quickly, but they are often un-nuanced and\u00a0fallible<\/a>. Meanwhile, human content moderators endure an enormous\u00a0psychological burden<\/a>\u00a0when they analyze gruesome content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook<\/a> recently\u00a0announced an oversight board<\/a>\u00a0with independent experts to help monitor content moderation. Mr. Al Khatib thinks this is a good step, but in a world in which platforms hold part of the key to humanitarian justice, it\u2019s still not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
