Apple strips clips of devs booing $999 monitor stand using copyright claims

Interestingly, there are many other videos of the event, shared on YouTube and Twitter, that weren’t taken down presumably because they didn’t include any embarrassing mocking of the pointlessly expensive monitor stand. Even as the web vid goliath on Wednesday said it has amended its policies to “prohibiting videos alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination, segregation or exclusion” – no more white supremacy, apparently – it faces ongoing complaints from Vox journalist Carlos Maza over the platform’s refusal to take action against YouTuber Steven Crowder: Crowder is accused of lobbing homophobic and racist slurs at the journo in a string of YouTube videos. David Paris, a board member at Australian advocacy group Digital Rights Watch, was among those who noted on Twitter that several videos of the shocked WWDC crowd on YouTube have been disabled.
