Seen a video in another thread where Youtube felt the need to post pic related? Is this government mandated or suggested? This to me is a step in the direction of conflict, not a good look, Google.
Is this tech jumping on the anti-Russo bandwagon?

Will they include notifications about how some videos are funded by AIPAC?
Robert Morris
I won't mind the notification if it also showed up on other news streams for other channels like the bbc
Michael Wright
What do you think?
Jeremiah Collins
this is just good transparency, who wants information to be hidden?
Cameron Perry
This is the problem. It's done similar to putting a warning label on a pack of cigarretes
Adam Young
Reveal all the donors or sponsors, problem solved
Evan Sullivan
...
Alexander Hall
Its only transparency for anti-Russian sentiments. They don't display this warning for every other network to show where they get their funding from.
Robert Morris
The reason why there's no message for CNN and other Western media outlets is because the message would cover the whole fucking screen
Christopher Powell
Now check out NPR and PBS videos
Adrian Miller
Can Youtube mention one media outlet that isn't shilling for an agenda?
Also, tried verifying it and I don't get that warning on any videos, not even the on in OP.
Sebastian Sanchez
I'd go screenshot every state run channel in europe and N America for funsies, but effort.
William Sullivan
I got one the other day saying the channel was funding in part or whole by the Iranian govt
Julian Taylor
And AIPAC still isn't registered under FARA.
Nathaniel Gray
They will link to wikipedia articles on "controversial topics" to fight fake news.
Noah Nguyen
University professors on suicide watch
Luis Clark
Of course.
Mason Moore
Little bit of a softer message on PBS
Asher Wright
Uhm didn't these Youtube sweeties go to school at all past preschool? I remember middle school teachers saying you would fail an essay if you cited Wikipedia as a source. What is it with leftists and thinking there is authoritative facts on the internet?
Anthony Peterson
>RT is a publicly funded Russian broadcaster
why didn't hey just put this lol, guess it doesn't sound as sinister huh.
Jaxon Hernandez
Could you check for AIPAC youtube.com
I get nothing
Zachary Hughes
based counter-semite of peace
Zachary Jenkins
Nothing. This is how Google can shit on RT while nudging PBS and saying "be cool".
Dominic Hughes
Considering most of you are Russian shills, how do you expect tech to respond?
Russia has so many bots and spreads so much fake news that tech companies have a responsibility to alert their consumers when propaganda is being petteled on their platforms.
Nathan Evans
Lucas Bailey
Maybe a blanket statement telling people to think critically and check sources before consuming videos and interpreting them as fact.
Colton White
>Publicly funded
Ok, sounds better
>Government funded
EVIL RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA
They both mean the same thing.
Fucking go and shoot up YT again and make sure to get that slimy hag Susan.
Aiden Rodriguez
does this only show up in America? When I go to those vids I don't get this message
Jaxon Thomas
Except it is pretty much guaranteed that it will be highly biased in what is revealed.
For example I do not see a similar notification when it comes to the German state TV or the BBC.
Nathaniel Cruz
90% of fake news or even more is just clickbait by websites looking to make a quick buck from Google AdSense.
Now piss off with that bullshit.
Henry Gutierrez
It's not onlyor RT.
PBS and al jazeera have the same notification in respect to their government
Joshua Stewart
>see opinion I don't agree with
>must be a russian troll
kek I remember reading an article that claimed the bad user score on rotten tomatoes for the last jedi and last years ghostbusters were the result of a sinister russian force.
Alexander Richardson
I guess this shows only for Americans. Other nations' people seem to understand what is real just fine.
Aiden Howard
Less soft on external propaganda.
Benjamin Morales
It does.
Nathaniel Jones
Seems to be only people from the US are seeing it. Try watching with a US proxy
Charles Reyes
The absolute state of jewtube, eventually it's all going to blow up in their faces and I'll laugh my ass off when it does.
Jaxon Reed
I've already posted about the differences
Nathaniel Fisher
They only do this for media that is publicly funded. BBC, PBS, CBC, and Al Jazeera have similar disclaimers
Hudson Scott
how Orwellian for you
Eli Sullivan
Because RT gets most of it's budget directly through the government and not taxes
Elijah Long
It's word for word with anything that isn't US
Sebastian Williams
oh and where does the russian government get its money from?
Joseph Torres
Could they at least do that for all governments?
Anthony Cruz
jewtubes still mad about the time Jow Forums hacked them and posted gayporn everywhere
Wyatt Russell
Are you literally retarded or just pretending?
Sebastian Peterson
It appearing mainly for US viewers and having a specific message for the US tells me that the narrative they would like to push is that US news is the only news that should be trusted. I will leave you all to your own thoughts on this.
Nathan Long
US too sometimes:

I didn't know it was a thing until I watched this video. (It's in Spanish, sorry)

YouTube is literally Hitler. The Nazis were doing the exact same thing by marking Jewish businesses and thus discrediting them.
