YouTube has been accused once again of discriminating against LGBTQ+ YouTube content creators.
A group of LGBTQ+ YouTubers — including the self-described singing duo and videos of africans having sexlesbian couple Bria and Chrissy — filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday night against YouTube and its parent company Google, leveling claims of discrimination against LGBTQ+ communities, demonetization, and content restriction.
The plaintiffs in the class-action lawsuit created a video titled "WE'RE SUING GOOGLE/YOUTUBE - And here's why..."
In the video, transgender YouTuber Chase Ross says YouTube restricts queer YouTubers from selling advertising. Bria and Chrissy allege their content has been restricted, which affects their ability to make money on the platform.
More accusations in the video include "blatant discrimination," and YouTube's use of an allegedly biased algorithm that restricts queer content without any apparent steps by the company to fix it (though, according to the YouTubers, the company recognizes it is biased).
"Queer Kid Stuff" YouTuber Lindsay Amer explains why she thinks YouTube isn't taking any action to correct anti-LGBTQ discrimination on their platform: "They don't care. They use our important content to feed their bottom line ... they don't care about our mental health and they don't care about our livelihood. Only their own profits."
It's an important statement. YouTube and Google control an estimated "95 percent of public video communications that occur in the world," said Peter Obstler, the lawsuit's lead attorney who works at the firm Browne George Ross, in a Washington Postarticle.
The video platform giant has a history when it comes to alleged discrimination against LGBTQ+ YouTubers. In a series of tweets at the end of May, queer journalist Carlos Maza accused YouTube of failing to uphold its anti-discrimination policies in light of homophobic comments against him by conservative YouTuber Steven Crowder.
After public outrage, YouTube ended up revoking Crowder's monetization abilities on the platform.
Browne George Ross is currently embroiled in another lawsuit against YouTube involving allegations that they removed Prager University's videos "because they have a conservative political bent," the Washington Postreports.
Mashable has reached out to the lawsuit's plaintiffs. We will update the article with any response.
UPDATE: Aug. 15, 2019, 11:18 a.m. EDTYouTube spokesperson Alex Joseph responded to the lawsuit's allegations in an email to Mashable:
"We’re proud that so many LGBTQ creators have chosen YouTube as a place to share their stories and build community. All content on our site is subject to the same policies. Our policies have no notion of sexual orientation or gender identity and our systems do not restrict or demonetize videos based on these factors or the inclusion of terms like 'gay' or 'transgender.' In addition, we have strong policies prohibiting hate speech, and we quickly remove content that violates our policies and terminate accounts that do so repeatedly."
