YouTube will soon start taking action against false information about cancer treatments. The latest attempt by the video streaming service to combat medical misinformation was on Tuesday.

YouTube cancer misinformation crackdown, YouTube aims to delete content that promotes cancer therapies that have been shown to be hazardous and ineffective. As well as those that discourage viewers from obtaining professional medical treatment, after saying in 2021 that it would take down videos containing false information about vaccines.

The initiatives will start on Tuesday and intensify in the upcoming weeks, according to a blog post published on Tuesday.

Dr. Garth Graham, the worldwide head of YouTube health, stated in the article, “Our mission is to make sure that when (cancer patients and their loved ones) turn to YouTube. They can easily find high-quality content from reliable health sources.”

Which videos are prohibited from being posted on YouTube?

Numerous existing medical misinformation rules on YouTube. Which owned by Alphabet, the parent company of Google, will streamline into three categories: prevention, treatment, and denial. According to the blog post, the regulations will applied to material that deviates from the World Health Organisation or local health authorities.

YouTube will now remove any videos that advocate hazardous or dubious cancer therapies over proven ones. Such as those that suggest viewers take vitamin C instead of radiation therapy or assert that garlic has cancer-curing properties. 

A series of videos about cancer diseases and the most recent cutting-edge treatments produced by YouTube in conjunction with the Mayo Clinic

Since cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide, Graham said, “The public health risk is high.” Local and international health authorities have a steady consensus regarding safe cancer therapies. Although this is a subject that is prone to erroneous information.

Disinformation: What is it? Misinformation? What to know about the dissemination of “fake news.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cancer was the second most common cause of death in the United States in 2020. Accounting for more than 602,000 fatalities. According to the National Cancer Institute, which is a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Almost 2 million people anticipated to receive a cancer diagnosis in the United States this year alone.

A 2020 study that looked at the top 150 YouTube videos on bladder cancer discovered that 67% of them had “moderate to poor” overall information quality. YouTube “a widely used source of information and advice about bladder cancer. But much of the content is of poor quality,” according to the study. Which conducted under the direction of Dr. Stacy Loeb. A professor of urology and public health at NYU Langone Health.

Similar research conducted in 2018 under Loeb’s direction discovered that many popular YouTube videos regarding prostate cancer featured “biased or poor-quality information.”

  1. My name is Ahmet. I’m a bank staff in a Turkish bank. I’ve been looking for someone who has the same nationality as you. A citizen of your country died in the recent earthquake in Turkey, he had in our bank fixed deposit of $11.5 million.

    My Bank management is yet to know of his death. If my bank executive finds out about his death ,They would use the funds for themselves and get richer and I would like to prevent that from happening only if I get your cooperation, I knew about it because I was his account manager. Last week my bank management held a meeting for the purpose of a bank audit to note the dormant and abandoned deposit accounts. I know this will happen and that’s why I’m looking for a solution to deal with this situation because if my bank discovers his death, they will divert the funds to the board of directors. I don’t want that to happen.

    I request your cooperation to introduce you as the kin/heir of the account as you are of the same nationality as him. There is no risk; the transaction is carried out under a legal agreement that protects you from infringement. I suggest we split the funds, 60/40 and 40 for me. I need this fund for my daughter’s surgery so keep this info confidential. email me so i can provide you with more information. ahmetturkiye1974@outlook.com
