Susan Wojcicki, who has been in charge of YouTube, is about to leave her post as CEO of the platform.
Wojcicki was one of the first Google employees back in 2008. Her replacement will be Neal Mohan" a Stanford graduate who joined Google in 2008 and is the chief product officer at YouTube where he has been focusing on building YouTube Shorts and Music," based on the Reuters report.
At the age of 54, Susan Wojcicki has declared that she will be concentrating on "family, health, and personal projects. She has been the Chief Executive Officer of YouTube since 2014.
Wojcicki's recognition grew after she was featured on Reliable Sources, the show hosted by Brian Stelter at the time, where she declared that she would make certain that censorship was being carried out on YouTube.
During the pandemic, Wojcicki indicated that YouTube's policy would not accept any content that is contrary to the World Health Organization's position on COVID.
Under Wojcicki's leadership, YouTube sought to silence those who expressed doubts about official stories. Comedian Russell Brand experienced firsthand the platform's censorship when a video in which he queried the narrative surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic was taken down.
Brand was saying, "Earlier this month we did a video about the changing narratives around COVID, the pandemic, and COVID treatments in which we cited information on official government websites, which we misinterpreted." Brand understood that "Ill have to be careful talking about it now, I dont want to make the same mistake thats had one of your videos pulled down and an official warning issued."
YouTube along with other big tech held discussions with the Biden Administration on controlling the narrative in order to prevent the spread of what they see as misinformation regarding COVID-19.
The Post Millennial's Libby Emmons and Human Events Jack Posobiec have reported that the Biden administration "has exerted tremendous pressure on social-media companiespressure to which companies have repeatedly bowed," as outlined in the New Civil Liberties Alliance's recent release. Social media firms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn have continually given in to this pressure. This information has been shared through the Partner Support Portal.
The CDC held a meeting to discuss the COVID-19 media narrative, representatives from all technology outlets as well as a variety of federal agencies, such as the White House, HHS, DHS, CISA, NIAID, the Office of the Surgeon General, the Census Bureau, the FDA, the FBI, the State Department, the Treasury Department, and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, were all asked to brainstorm ideas for curbing the amount of COVID-related free speech on the internet.
