YouTube said Tuesday it was investigating the removal of comments critical of the Chinese Communist Party from the video-sharing platform, saying the filtering appeared to be "an error."
Luckey, a founder of the virtual reality group Oculus who is now with a defense tech firm, tweeted on Monday that "YouTube has deleted every comment I ever made about the Wumao, an internet propaganda division of the Chinese Communist Party," and suggested the filtering appeared to be a new policy of censorship.
But YouTube said in a statement to AFP it had made no policy changes and that its filters are designed to remove only "spammy, hateful or harassing comments" from the platform.
