Published by Laura Ceci, Apr 3, 2025

During the fourth quarter of 2024, YouTube's automated flagging process caused approximately 9.12 million videos to be removed from the video-sharing platform. Automated flagging accounted for the bulk of content removal - user-generated flagging only caused 266 thousand videos to be removed for violating community guidelines during the same quarter.
