YouTube’s Neo-Nazi Problem

Available for over a year

A BBC Trending investigation has found huge inconsistencies in how YouTube deals with neo-Nazi hate music. These are songs which use extreme violent language and imagery to advocate murder and violence against minority groups. Many of the hate music videos are from punk and hardcore bands active in the 80s and 90s – but they found a new life on the internet. Natalia Zuo explains how the BBC Trending team carried out an experiment to put YouTube’s reporting systems to the test.
