Being the first marketing manager and being involved in the founding of Google, Susan Daine Wojcicki, the CEO of Youtube has been in the tech industry for over 20 years.

For some time now, there has been a petition being raised on social media to get Susan fired as CEO of Youtube.

According to the online protestors, since Susan became the CEO of Youtube in 2014, Youtube has changed in terms of its relationship with its creators.

They claimed that the new rules of Youtube are silencing Youtubers and it’s infringing on their freedom of speech as the company keeps demonetizing creators who make videos about controversial subjects such as politics, natural disasters and so on.

Some protestors also claimed that Youtube should review or better still pull off the Ad-Friendly Policy since it is one of the reasons why youtube is going in the wrong direction.

As well as Youtube must have common-sense rules like No Tolerance Policy on people who troll on Youtube, False Flagging and censoring music.

As of now the petition being signed online is at 228,000 on Change.org.
