Great, just what we need, more corporate censorship from the Youtube Trusted Flaggers.

How about I decide what I want to see, instead of the Ministry of Truth doing it for me?

How about I approach Youtube and all other sites with skepticism, and teach my kids to do the same, instead of having any default trust at all?

I'm deeply skeptical of any attempt to sort fact from fiction that is imposed on a user base rather than utilized by choice. Such a thing gives way too much power to the people who make decisions about what qualifies as "true"
