A comment on YouTube actively deletes anti CCP comments. Parent comment

I would guess the filter was told to inform advertisers that those words were present, and then accidentally was set to delete them immediately.

Seems more believable than China infiltrating a foreign company to block two words from appearing in Chinese on a website blocked in China.

Yeah I think that’s more likely too, but I also think it wouldn’t be exclusively for removing two words.

If I was the CCP I would get people hired to both steal IP and also look out for Chinese interests.
