, the CEO of YouTube, stepped into the role earlier this year. He told"CBS Mornings" in his first TV interview as CEO that its mission is to give everyone a voice and show them the world. However, he acknowledged the tough decisions he faces regarding content moderation and said that many times, it's about choosing between two difficult options.
"And my number one responsibility is keeping our ecosystem of creators, viewers, all of our partners safe on YouTube. And I put that above anything else that we do," said Mohan. Regarding YouTube's algorithm, which suggests videos to users, Mohan said that each user's experience is unique.But those recommendations, which drive most of the views on YouTube, have also stirred concern that they don't just reflect interests but actually develop them.
The company tweaked its algorithm a few years ago, and several studies since then have found YouTube avoids serving misleading or extremist content to regular users. However, some of the research shows those who actively search for such content can still find it on the site.
