Why did Google flag our video decrying violence and racism?

When we released a recent video featuring human rights activist Keshia Thomas, we couldn’t have been prouder or more excited. The video sends a compelling message about the power of nonviolence and free speech.

But Google had other plans. Twice now, Keshia’s video has been flagged by Google, saying that the video features “negative events and imagery" — a reminder that algorithmic content moderation is a threat to online free expression.
