Oh yeah, believe some outdated policy than the CEO's recent interview. That's some quality fact checking right there! Congrets on your bleeding edge method of fact checking.

> believe some outdated policy than the CEO's recent interview
One is an actual policy that the employees follow. The other is just a quote taken out of context. The interview wasn't about launching a new policy. Instead, the CEO mentioned what YouTube was already doing in passing in a broad-ranging interview and did so loosely.
It's really not that hard to understand. You're acting like the Black Knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
This looks like the CEO misquoting the policy. I linked to the actual policy. Where does it say what you claim?
> "Now any content that disputes the existence or transmission of Covid-19, as described by the WHO [World Health Organization] and local health authorities is in violation of YouTube policies."
This is in violation for spreading harmful medical misinformation, not for contradicting the WHO, which (once again) is not prohibited by YouTube policy.

If you had used that feature, you might have come across https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22963070
I suggest you learn how to read critically instead of blindly believing anything you read on the Internet.
