How is this YouTube’s fault. The person who set up the stream is the one picking the content YouTube don’t officially know anything about it.
There’s many reasons to go after YouTube, but this isn’t one of them, this is stupid. What idiot wrote this, and do they not understand how the internet works?

These arguments that always try to absolve giant corporations of any responsibility are so tired, and so nonsensical. They decided to start a company that hosts random people’s content, then they and the content creators can take responsibility for it and face the consequences of allowing for, and profiting off of, the exploitation of vulnerable people, bigotry, violence, hate speech, etc etc. There has to be a line drawn somewhere or else you end up with “free speech absolutists” who only allow alt right content on their platform. Gee, where have we seen that one before.
