Youtube demonetizes several videos on conservative pundit Candace Owens' channel for violating its policies on hateful and derogatory content, which the company says may apply to instances of misgendering or deadnaming.
June 8, 2023, 6:49 PM UTCYouTube said that it demonetized several videos on conservative pundit Candace Owens' channel for violating its monetization policies on hateful and derogatory content, which the company said may apply to instances of misgendering or deadnaming.
On the Candace Owens Podcast channel Monday, Owens said YouTube gave her “an option to delete every video that I’ve ever done pertaining to gender in which I have accurately gendered someone” — referring to instances in which she’s used pronouns not preferred by trans individuals. Videos in which Owens misgendered individuals were considered “hateful conduct” by YouTube, according to Owens in a segment in the episode titled ‘I Have An Announcement To Make.
While YouTube said it did not remove Owens’ videos, Michael Aciman, a Google spokesperson, said that the company blocked ads on “several videos on Candace Owen’s channel for violating our monetization policies, including those against hateful and derogatory content.” Additionally, Aciman said that this policy could include enforcement against videos that “may include deliberate deadnaming or misgendering of transgender individuals.”that misgendering is not part of its community guidelines, which dictate what videos can and can't be fully removed from the platform. Aciman's statement clarifies, however, that misgendering is a consideration when it comes to the company's decisions around the monetization of videos.
