“Google Apologizes to Ad Clients for YouTube Content Fiasco.” CBS News.com, 20 March 2017, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-apologizes-to-ad-clients-for-youtube-content-fiasco/. In this article from CBS, they discussed how ads had been placed in some YouTubers inappropriate videos and Google, which is the owner of YouTube, apologized for these incidents. Google apologized to the Britain government whose ads appeared in content that contained homophobic and anti-semitic messages. In 2016 Britain generated $7.8 billion mainly from advertising. Some of Britain's well-known brands pulled the plug. Also, some of the world’s biggest advertising companies said they were reviewing how they worked with google (Reuters). Google said they would review the content thoroughly and make changes. This serious popular source seems to have done their research. They had facts such as how much the Britain market generated in ads as well as the U.S giant’s global revenue. I did not come across anything in the article that would suggest it is biased. This article is current and I would be using it when discussing if YouTube should be more aware of what YouTubers are uploading. Why would they allow ads to be placed on this content? And how to advertisers feel about …show more content…
In the video a survivor from the Florida Douglas High School shooting was being interviewed about an incident where his friend was confronted by a lifeguard in Los Angeles. The video made it seem as though the survivor, David Hogg was a paid actor, since he had spoken out about gun control due to the shooting in his high school. The interview in the beach however, was show months before the shooting and it was confirmed by a teacher that Hogg was in fact a student and was not an actor. Hogg himself also said he was not an actor. MacMillan stated that the video “was meant to cast doubt on the student’s story of witnessing the Parkland school shooting.” YouTube apologized for the video which was #1 trending saying that it was misclassified due to the news source footage. They removed the video because it violated their policies and YouTube said they were working to improve their systems. Hogg appeared all over social media after this incident and twitter and facebook said they would protect these florida survivors who were being
Google Inc. is a company that started in 2002 and has gradually grown to become an international technology company. Google’s business is mainly focused around vital areas, like advertising, search, operating systems and platforms, hardware products and enterprise. The company produces its revenue mainly by distributing online advertising. Google also produces revenue from Motorola through selling products. The company offers its services and products in over 100 languages and in over 50 regions, territories and countries.
When such issues arise, they remove that material from their website-YouTube to give time to disputing parties to settle and resolve their own issues.
Why is YouTube not screening their videos better? This video, posted by TRUTH to LIFE of a man committing suicide is extremely graphic and before you watch it, you have to confirm you know it is disturbing. According to reports, a man who was arrested was not properly searched and had a gun. While in the interview room at the police station, he pulls a .45 caliber handgun and shoots himself in the temple. It is sad and the police immediately realized they had made a huge mistake.
It makes sense how advertising is a great way for companies to make money, and one of the benefits that come from that is that these companies are able to serve everyone in the world without having to worry about what places have money and what places don’t have as much money. Now, Google has grown tremendously throughout the years so I would like to hear if what Sergey Brin and Larry Page had to say still remains consistent till now. Does Google still value that they are able to provide services around the world without having to worry about people’s social
In Greg Beato’s article “Internet Addiction” originally published in august, september 2010 in to Reason magazine he argues that internet addiction is a problem in our society today. Internet addiction should be reported in the Diagnostic and statistic manual of mental disorder (DSM). It is a huge problem, he also says that internet is like narcotic drugs and very addicting. He states that if ones use Google for few minutes only it leads us to spend more than a few minutes on the internet and it turns in to spending hours. Beato refers that University of Maryland did a group study for 24 hour and all the students went crazy without their phones and iPods, one girl admitted that she is an addict. The students were anxious and miserable. He also says that one kid killed his parents because they took away his Xbox. Internet also leads to death of people, therefore it is a problem and we should put it on to the DSM.
YouTube would help extend that advantage into a more profitable stage. Advertisers would be more willing to pay a premium for ads on a video search as opposed to paying for text search. Another Google’s advantage was the amount of financial resources allocated to boast its innovative services. For example, Google Search, Blogger, Finance, Google Docs and Apps, Google Chrome, and many other acquisitions such as YouTube. Because of such resources, Google could deal easily with copyright protection issues. Thus, to avoid pirated content on the channel, YouTube signed an agreement with CBS broadcasting and music companies such as Sony, Universal, and Warner to broadcast their videos and share advertising revenue. Google’s biggest advantage is its capability to offer the users a “one-stop-shop” for all of its services and at a zero cost. A third competitive advantage was Google’s strong market share. According to the rankings, Google held 66%, while Yahoo held 17%, and Microsoft 15%. Because of the number of people searching the Internet on Google, the name became the expression “Google it.” Users loyalty also is part of Google’s advantage, since they feel comfortable with the site and don’t want to try other search
Most of google’s revenue comes from Google’s AD’s which means that if the part of google start to suffer or face some serious problem google would loose most of their revenue which can lead to it bin bankrupt over a short period of time

Pornography on the Internet is affordable, available, and abundant. One can easily find websites for viewing this type of material. Although the reports on the actual number of these sites vary, the availability and accessibility of the sites are rarely disputed. Some critics of this form of expression or form of obscenity believe that the pornography itself can cause pornography addictions. Internet pornography does not produce addicts, but rather the propensity to be a pornography addict already exists within individuals by the time they reach adulthood and sustains itself within those individuals.
Researchers are seeking a clarification of the term “Internet addiction.” It is debatable whether the compulsive use of the Internet should
Social media has become an extremely powerful and useful tool that enables people in a modern society to effortlessly interact and socialize with each other via the internet; however, there is an extremely dark and little known side of social media: addiction. Social media has the potential to become extremely addictive to its users. The addictive nature of social media may intensely interfere with users daily obligations in the real world, which may make a recovery process necessary in order to quell the powerful addiction.
In this generation, everyone, mostly young adults, are glued to technology. We see people walking around, looking at the ground as if they have a ball and chain dangling from their necks. We see people sitting on their chairs and looking at their computer screens long enough for their backs to hurt and their eyes water from the bright screen. People addicted to the Internet are those who pay attention to a virtual world more than their own lives. Internet addiction has corrupted people’s social lives, prevented their maturation, and induced negative behaviors. In “Internet Addiction,” Greg Beato expresses how the Internet has corrupted lives and should be added to the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Behaviors.” If we continue our
Abstract— This research examines three questions: Does Internet addiction really exist? If it does exist what criteria does one have to meet for them to be labeled as an Internet addict? And lastly an ethical evaluation of Internet addiction. The questions are explored by investigating the fundamentals of addiction (i.e., Compulsion, Obsession, living problems, lack of satisfaction) and then correlating them to excessive Internet use. This research concludes that whilst the concept of Internet addiction cannot be completely ruled out, the majority and most probable explanation when it comes to Internet addiction is that the Internet is being as a medium to engage in different types of addictions.
