YouTube adds 9/11 info to Notre Dame fire video

YouTube linked to information about the 9/11 terrorist attacks on livestreams of the Notre Dame Cathedral fire Monday even though officials had not identified the cause of the blaze.

The pages for the streams initially included YouTube’s new information panels right below the video with a brief note and a link to the Encyclopedia Britannica’s article on the 2001 attack. The cause of the fire is unknown.

YouTube began rolling out the information panels last month in order to combat conspiracy theories by providing context on controversial topics.

“This information panel will appear alongside videos related to the topic, regardless of the opinions or perspectives expressed in the videos,” YouTube’s help center says about the feature.

The panels have since been removed from the livestreams.

A spokesperson for YouTube, which is owned by Google, did not immediately respond when asked for comment.
