After the inhumanity of the Parkland shooting, it seems that lack of human oversight on YouTube is aiding and abetting those who think the whole slaughter of the 14 students, two coaches and one teacher was a media invention.

A video on the Google-owned platform suggested that shooting survivor and now gun-control advocate David Hogg was a so-called crisis actor – bought and paid for to appear in fraudulent footage of an atrocity that “never happened.”

Despite (or perhaps because of) the insane insensitivity of the video, it quickly trended before YouTube took it down… Yet another example of what can happen when algorithms decide what a grieving nation wants to watch.
