Media giant YouTube announced this week that they are launching what is called the “Heroes Program,” which essentially turns banning content into a game for users. The program utilizes a points system, with gives users with higher points a higher level, and allows them to mass flag and delete comments.

The policy comes soon after another hugely unpopular move by the company put in place the de-monetezation of any content that has been deemed “offensive” or “controversial.” Basically, YouTube’s move to make censorship a crowd sourcing shindig is not too far off from Communist China’s social credit system, which gives citizens the authority to report each other’s behavior online via a snitch program that ranks their trustworthiness.

The new policy is so unpopular that the video has received over 415,000 “thumbs-down” votes, versus just 7,000 “thumbs up” ratings. The backlash of negative comments was so intense that YouTube disabled the comments on the video. Although censoring the internet is popular in other countries, such as China and North Korea, that type of stuff is generally frowned upon here in America.
