Combining two empirical approaches—a small-scale analysis of top-ranked videos from YouTube search results in 2022 and 2024, and a large-scale data set of over 112k videos—we examine how Tate-related content continues to circulate and how the platform moderates such material. Our findings show that Tate remains highly visible through a diffuse and decentralized network of actors who repackage his messaging into interviews, remixes, and YouTube-native formats. This configuration produces what we term the “Tate-space”: an ambient ideological environment where motivational rhetoric, aspirational masculinity, and far-right talking points converge. We find that YouTube’s substantial moderation efforts are outpaced by the speed and scale of recommendation-driven circulation and that deplatforming, while symbolically significant, fails to disrupt the cultural and logistical dynamics that sustain Tate’s influence.</jats:p>"}],"date_created":"2026-02-02T13:44:23Z","type":"journal_article"},{"publication":"Content Moderation: A Cross-Plattform Analysis","citation":{"bibtex":"@inbook{Stanusch_Cetin_Romano_Schueler_Baumgartner_August_Rosca_2026, place={Amsterdam}, title={DSA, AIA, and LLMs: Approaches to conceptualizing and auditing moderation in LLM-based chatbots across languages and interfaces in the electoral contexts}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.48550/ARXIV.2509.19890\">10.48550/ARXIV.2509.19890</a>}, booktitle={Content Moderation: A Cross-Plattform Analysis}, publisher={Amsterdam University Press}, author={Stanusch, Natalia and Cetin, Raziye Buse and Romano, Salvatore and Schueler, Miazia and Baumgartner, Meret and August, Bastian Julian and Rosca, Alexandra}, editor={Rogers, Richard}, year={2026} }","chicago":"Stanusch, Natalia, Raziye Buse Cetin, Salvatore Romano, Miazia Schueler, Meret Baumgartner, Bastian Julian August, and Alexandra Rosca. “DSA, AIA, and LLMs: Approaches to Conceptualizing and Auditing Moderation in LLM-Based Chatbots across Languages and Interfaces in the Electoral Contexts.” In <i>Content Moderation: A Cross-Plattform Analysis</i>, edited by Richard Rogers.
