YouTube Requests Users Not Be So Terrible In Comments

Are you sure you need to post that? YouTube this week announced a new Community Guidelines feature meant to help clean up the vitriol on the comments section of its platform and help facilitate “respectful interactions.” Now, users on Android may see a pop-up before they post a comment on YouTube that may be hurtful. That prompt will ask them to “Keep comments respectful” and consider whether the comment they’re sharing “is appropriate.” YouTube itself notes that whatever systems and filters it has in place “are continuously learning and may not always get it right.”
