YouTube, the video streaming platform controlled by Alphabet, said it removed 8.3m videos for breaching its community guidelines between October and December 2017.

“The majority of these 8m videos were spam or people attempting to upload adult contentand represent a fraction of a percent of YouTube’s total views during this time period,” said the company in a blog post.

YouTube said 6.7 million were first flagged for review by machines rather than humans; of those, 76 percent were removed before they received a single view.

Most of the videos taken down were flagged as suspect by one of Google’s automatic systems, the company said, rather than an individual.
