How exactly would they know that it's public access? Their algorithms don't understand what content is, it just recognizes patterns in data, and that one snippet of video is sufficiently similar to another as to be considered the same snippet. Putting in a rule to deal with an edge case is non-trivial, and there are an infinite number of edge cases.

Pretty sure YouTube employees have already classified all government channels and public access channels as such. There's a notice below those videos that indicates it. And if not, it should be done anyway.

They are pretty smart, I guess they could reuse the same technology they use to not to take down videos with "correct" views that they agree with?

Yawn. Just a conclusion looking for its argument. I'm not sure why this kind of talk is tolerated here on these kinds of topics but other topics its widely downvoted for being the baseless and specious nonsense that it is.

You don't have to make the algorithm do it, is what I'm saying.
