So-called royal YouTube has become a hotbed of hatred and conspiracy theories about the Duchess of Sussex.
An obvious counterargument to questions about anti-Meghan harassment accounts is that she’s a public figure and not immune to criticism. According to YouTube’s, there are some exceptions to the hate speech policy for high-profile figures. The platform may allow harassment “if the primary purpose is educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic in nature,” according to the guidelines.
Maza pointed out that allowing this kind of bad faith abuse hurts YouTube as a whole. “From a pure health-of-the-ecosystem standpoint, there is no meaningful, logical, or ethical explanation that a high profile-harassment campaign against a royal is conducive to the media ecosystem. It either poisons the platform or it doesn’t.”
Imran Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a non-profit campaigning against online hate and misinformation, echoed this point in an interview with BuzzFeed News, saying that on platforms like YouTube, “Hate speech is the most profitable type of speech.” “That in itself is a dynamic that doesn’t just affect Meghan Markle, it affects all of society,” Ahmed said.
