San Francisco – A crisis is brewing at the world's largest video service.

YouTube has seen big advertisers from AT&T to

Wal-Mart pull their ads off the platform over fears that their brand will

appear next to offensive or extremist content.

This week, Bloomberg Technology's Mark Bergen and Aki Ito

plunge into one of the thorniest corners of the modern internet and ask: how do

you police the unwieldy, ever-expanding mess that is the World Wide Web?

Please note: some

short examples of offensive material have been included in this episode.
