YouTube will clarify if the person has changed his mind to leave a negative comment under the video

Information has appeared online about another controversial YouTube initiative, which could further complicate

use of the service. Thus, the platform will begin to clarify whether the person has changed his mind about leaving a negative comment under the video.

We are talking about those messages under the videos thatcould offend the person to whom they are addressed, The Verge reports. According to YouTube representatives, they would like to give users the opportunity to think before posting a comment.

Of course, such an approach is unlikely to completely clear the platform of negative communication under video. But a certain percentage reduction in toxicity can still be expected.

Questions are raised only by the operation of YouTube algorithmsin languages ​​other than English. Will the company be able to implement such functionality in Russian? And if so, how soon can we expect its implementation? The company has not yet provided an answer to these questions.
