YouTube will detect hateful comments on Android devices and will give users the chance to be more “respectful” in the platform.
YouTube had recently announced the availability of its new and latest feature on Android devices that can detect hateful comments on videos uploaded on the said platform.
In a recent blog post, YouTube had revealed some efforts in order to make the said platform “more inclusive” by showing a warning whenever a hateful comment was detected on a YouTube video and would give users the chance to be more “respectful”.

In a report on 9to5Google, “toxic” comments were all too well-known on YouTube and could be a source of anxiety and stress for creators on the said platform, and cleaning up the comments section was something that could make the platform a better place for everyone.
In order to lessen how often those comments appeared, YouTube was adding a new pop-up warning that appeared when negative or hateful content was detected within a comment.
The pop-up reminded users to “Keep comments respectful”, but only appeared on Android devices as of this writing.
This pop-up wouldn’t stop users from posting whatever they wanted, but it may cause some to take a second look at what they were about to say.
