Cisco pulls off all its online ads from YouTube to prevent them from showing up with sensitive content
Cisco’s action follows a CNN report in April that said ads from over 300 companies, including Cisco, ran on extremist channels on YouTube. Network gear maker Cisco Systems Inc is pulling all online ads from YouTube due to fears of the ads appearing on sensitive content on the platform, Cisco’s chief marketing officer, Karen Walker, said in a blog on Wednesday. Walker, in the blog, said she would not like the company’s ads to “accidentally end up in the wrong place, such as on a streaming video with sensitive content,” adding that the network gear maker will continue to use YouTube as a platform to share Cisco’s video content. The companies may have unknowingly helped finance some of these channels through the YouTube said in a report released last month that it had deleted about 5 million videos from its platform for content policy violations in last year’s fourth quarter before any viewers saw them.
