One of the many scenarios that the Google subsidiary makes available to its creators is YouTube Shorts , where the content hosted there is very easy to produce and is accessible to everyone.
"YouTube is home to a wide variety of creators, and we need to improve our community standards to adequately protect everyone in it ," stresses Pinto (who knows what he's talking about because he himself is part of the LGBTQ+ community ).
