Breaking --- YOUTUBE will ask commenters to 'RETHINK' posting if their message seems OFFENSIVE

The company is launching a new product feature that will warn people when they’re going to post a comment that it “may be offensive to others,” in order to give them “the option to reflect before posting,” according to a new blog post.

The tool won’t actually stop people from posting said comment.

Prompts won’t appear before every comment, but it will for ones that YouTube’s system deems offensive, which is based on content that’s been repeatedly reported.
