YouTube has \u2018quarantined\u2019 the hard-hitting video on Europe\u2019s migrant crisis released by Poland\u2019s conservative government as part the platform\u2019s crackdown on \u201chate speech and violent extremism\u201d.<\/h2>\n

The Polish Ministry of Interior and Administration\u2019s film<\/a> has been placed in a controversial state designed by YouTube to limit access to videos it says contain \u201csupremacist\u201d or \u201cextremist\u201d content, but which don\u2019t break any of the platform\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n

Opening with dramatic scenes of migrants swarming into Europe, the Polish Interior Ministry highlights<\/a> EU leaders\u2019 insistence that the newcomers be spread throughout Europe, and forced even on unwilling nations through compulsory quotas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But YouTube has now placed the powerful video<\/a> in \u201climited state\u201d. Designed to severely reduce the potential audience for \u201cborderline\u201d pro-terrorist content, videos placed under this system are unsearchable, impossible to embed on other sites, and removed from users\u2019 recommended videos lists.<\/p>\n

The only way to reach \u2018quarantined\u2019 content is by clicking a direct link to the video in question, at which point viewers are warned that \u201ccontent is inappropriate or offensive\u201d, and must click a button before they are allowed to proceed.<\/p>\n

YouTube has also shut down comments on videos which have been placed in this \u201climited state\u201d, and removed view counts along with up-votes and down-votes, making it impossible to see the reach of the video, or how it has been received.<\/p>\n

YouTube Will Censor Non-Rulebreaking Content, Manipulate Search Results, And Work With ADL.

Google unveiled<\/a> the policy in August among a raft of new measures which the video-sharing website said it will use to counter \u201cextremism\u201d, announcing its partnership with 15 \u201cexpert NGOs and institutions\u201d \u2014 including the Council of Europe\u2019s left-wing No Hate Speech group \u2014 who will direct them in identifying objectionable content.<\/p>\n

Explaining the system, YouTube said it bans content which \u201cpromotes violence or has the primary purpose of inciting hatred against individuals or groups based on certain attributes\u201d, as well as \u201ccontent intended to recruit for terrorist organizations, incite violence, celebrate terrorist attacks, or otherwise promote acts of terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the blog post<\/a>, the Polish government\u2019s video has been judged a \u201cborderline\u201d case, which YouTube describes as content which \u201c[contains] inflammatory religious or supremacist content without a direct call to violence or a primary purpose of inciting hatred.
