Flickering lights could help fight misinformation

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-23 05:58:29

A group of Cornell computer scientists has unveiled what they believe could be a new tool in the fight against AI‑generated video, deepfakes and doctored clips. The watermarking technique, called “noise‑coded illumination,” hides verification data in light itself to help investigators spot doctored videos. The approach, devised by Peter Michael, Zekun Hao, Serge Belongie and assistant professor Abe Davis, was published in the June 27 issue of ACM Transactions on Graphics and will be presented b

YouTube is thinking about letting you avoid video comments entirely on mobile

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-23 10:56:27

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR YouTube is testing a new mobile UI that hides several elements below the video player, including the channel name and comments section. Tapping a new dropdown arrow next to the video’s title reveals the hidden information, such as the creator’s channel details and subscriber count. This change declutters the screen to show more related videos, but adds an extra tap for users who want to read comments or visit the creator’s channel. To stay ahead of the co

YouTube loosens profanity rules for monetized videos

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-12-23 10:01:21

YouTube is tweaking its profanity-related rules to allow creators to monetize videos with swearing in them, provided the profanity is contained to the first seven seconds of the video. In November 2022, YouTube changed its rules so that creators who used swear words in the first 8-15 seconds would potentially be ineligible for any ad revenue. After much backlash, the company changed its rules again in March 2023 so that such videos would be eligible for limited ad revenue, unless they use profa

YouTube will no longer limit ads on videos that drop the f-bomb early

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-23 20:45:19

YouTube has changed its ad guideline policy surrounding swear words, allowing creators a bit more freedom than before. In a video announcement, YouTube's head of monetization, Conor Kavanagh, said that videos containing stronger profanity such as f-bombs in the first seven seconds are now eligible for full monetization.
