I'd hazard that YouTube consider as "authoritative sources" only right-wing, billionaire-owned news media conglomerates. Thanks, but no thanks
Google is about to discover why cable companies bundled lunatic media sources for all the years before the internet existed. Hell, they've probably already discovered why already. It's just so damn profitable to give these demagogues a platform.
But they managed to convince us to use words like "allowlist" instead of blacklist/whitelist so they must think they're doing so much good for the world.
