Child Safety Whistleblowers

Whistleblowers from inside YouTube鈥檚 voluntary Trusted Flaggers Scheme tell us that the company is failing to respond to the vast majority of reports from them and the public.

An exclusive brought to you from 主播大秀 Trending this week: whistleblowers from inside YouTube鈥檚 voluntary Trusted Flaggers Scheme, which helps identify potential child groomers, tell us that the company are failing to respond to the vast majority of reports from them and the public.

Also on the programme, an unsolved murder of a young man in Washington DC last year has sparked widespread conspiracy theories online. But these aren鈥檛 just any kind of conspiracy theories 鈥� they鈥檙e ones with links to people in positions of power. Why has one murder led to such a huge response online? And what does this all mean for the grieving family who are left behind?
