YouTube has faced repeated criticisms for continuing to display and recommend videos featuring misleading or disturbing content on its platform, but company executives are focused on keeping engagement -- and ad revenue -- up, insiders say. CEO Susan Wojcicki defends the YouTube platform, comparing it to a library and noting that censoring videos could infringe on users' rights to free speech.
