This year it took place in London where leaders who were trying to bring social change were invited. Recently, YouTube received flak for giving space to YouTube influencers like  Logan Paul  who was criticised for his ‘suicide forest’ video. Though YouTube took down the video, it did take ten days to address the issue. Logan Paul was later removed from YouTube Red as well. Apart from this, YouTube was also criticised for allowing extremist content to flourish on their platform. This extremist content includes hate speech, videos promoting terrorism and other videos which promote disharmony.
