Insider Q&A: How YouTube decides what to ban

Insider Q&A: How YouTube decides what to ban: Matt Halprin, the global head of trust and safety for YouTube, has a tough job: He oversees the teams that decide what is allowed and what should be prohibited on YouTube.

The Associated Press spoke recently with Halprin about how his team works. Questions and answers have been edited for length and clarity.
