Google's YouTube video platform is switching gears in the lead-up to the 2024 election in order to rig the election against unapproved candidates.
In a new blog post, YouTube laid out how it is "voluntarily" assuming the role of a private business that "supports elections."
YouTube is not just interested in rigging the United States election, though; the changes arrived just prior to the European Parliament (EP) election, which is also right around the corner.
YouTube says its goal is to present "an overview of our efforts to help people across Europe and beyond find helpful and authoritative election news and information," meaning YouTube will disseminate only approved information for public consumption to sway people's voting habits.
"The overview is the usual hodgepodge of reasonable concepts, such as promoting information on how to vote or register for voting, learning about election results, etc., that quickly morph into yet another battle in the 'war on disinformation,'" warns Reclaim the Net about what YouTube is really up to.
