YouTube aims to be on the right side of history when making decisions. YouTube has improved at stopping abuse and misinformation, but videos still slip through. One example is the "Plandemic" video, which alleged that Dr. Fauci spread the virus and that masks spread coronavirus.

YouTube removed the video, but many people re-uploaded it using different techniques to evade detection. It took time for YouTube's systems to catch all the copies, but they were eventually taken down. The issue was not with policy, as the video always violated existing policies.
