YouTube apologises for blocking LGBTQ content
YouTube, the video-sharing site owned by Google, has apologised for hiding some LGBTQ material in its Restricted Mode feature, which enables users to filter out “potentially objectionable content”. As we reported on Monday, the discovery that content including a lesbian wedding and documentaries were being blocked led to a customer backlash. YouTube has confirmed that it will now fix the feature.
Pressured by the backlash, YouTube apologized on Monday and conceded that the filtering mechanism had mistakenly removed content, misunderstanding context and nuances.

"The bottom line is that this feature isn’t working the way it should. We’re sorry and we’re going to fix it," the company wrote in a blog post.
