Question

Youtube as a space for ethical concern: What are the problems and how do you propose we address them?

Answer 1

Youtube as a space for ethical concern has following problems and their solutions are as follows:

1/ Social media such as Youtube does not contain certain information from the public as it is not socially controlled unlike traditional media.

The solution to this problem is that users should not be prompted to agree with Youtube terms and conditions unknowingly to become a user to their site . Further more stringent policies for prohibiting users uploading copyrighted videos to be introduced.

2. Content relating to different religions and communities causes great controversy and tension among users . Commenting and replying to such videos may lead to racial commotions at times.

The solution is filtration of content before going viral on the social media platforms and legal action to be taken to penalize the wrong doers.
