San Francisco, Aug 15 (IANS): A group of LGBTQ YouTubers are reportedly suing the video-sharing platform and its parents firm Google over poor moderation of "hate" content and unfairly restricting the videos of LGBTQ creators.

According to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, since 2016, YouTube and Google have indulged in "unlawful content regulation, distribution, and monetisation practices that stigmatise, restrict, block, demonetise, and financially harm the LGBTQ+ Plaintiffs and the greater LGBTQ+ Community", a report in the CNET on Wednesday.

"They flagged our pride. They did not allow us to buy ads. They restricted us. They demonetized us. And they did not stand up for us," a YouTuber posted in a video to the site to announce the lawsuit, the report added.

The creators include Bria Kam and Chrissy Chambers of BriaAndChrissy.

Chrissy Chambers of BriaAndChrissy is a channel aimed at LGBTQ viewers that claimed that YouTube unfairly marked their videos as restricted, thus, limiting who could view them and how much money they could make out of it.

Another plaintiff named Lindsay Amer said the video-sharing major did nothing when Nazi trolls flooded her comments section with hate which discouraged parents from letting their kids watch her channel while others claimed YouTube's mysterious moderators targeted videos that included the words "gay", "lesbian", or "bisexual", according to PCMag.

    Message from God the Father - July 18th, 2019

    Feast of Our Lady of Victory [Toledo, Spain]...

    "Keep telling all My children that they must realize that all sickness and disorders are from sins of the flesh, especially abortion and homosexuality. My children MUST realize that there was no sickness in the Garden of Eden until Adam and Eve sinned. Then they were cast out so no evil would be left in the Garden. This is when all the people of the world had to start living in sickness because of their sins.

    It is the same today. If every one of My children quit sinning, got down on their knees, and followed the Ten Commandments of their God, all the sickness, disasters, and sins of the flesh in the world would end. This is how it will be in the New Era of Peace, the New Jerusalem. My children seem to be blind and unable to see that every sin in the world causes more sickness. Until all sin stops you will continue to see storms, health problems, sexual abuse, natural disasters, and all other kinds of suffering in the world.

    Wake up, My children, and admit that your sins are the very reason for so much suffering and abuse in your world. This is God the Father trying to get in your stubborn heads that sickness is from sin ONLY, not from God but from following satan’s sickness and sin. Love, the Father of All Heaven and Earth. Amen."
