17:42Now PlayingThe popular video streaming platform YouTube is under scrutiny for auto-generating videos that promote hate speech and violence against Muslims in India. A YouTube spokesperson told Bellingcat that the platform labels videos as "Auto-generated" when they are mass-produced Art Tracks created from audio tracks, artwork, and metadata submitted by record labels and artists, rather than being directly uploaded by users. These videos feature songs from the genre known as "Hindutva Pop," which advances a nationalist ideology aimed at establishing India as a Hindu-only nation. The videos often include static images of Hindu supremacist symbols and leaders from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), India's Hindu nationalist ruling party. A striking example is a song by Hindutva singer Ved Prakash Shukla, which translates to "Yogi will come to power till Hindu blood runs in our veins." The song has been chanted at religious rallies and includes lyrics such as "We will write Jai Shri Ram with streams of blood," invoking the Hindu deity Ram in a combative context. Despite violating YouTube's policies against promoting violence or hate, these auto-generated videos have amassed millions of views and even feature advertisements, raising questions about the platform's content moderation systems.
