Laetitia Birbes accused YouTube staffer of threatening her career on video platform if she asked tough questions on her live interview with Junker, she included a video clip appearing to show a man in a YouTube T-shirt telling her before the interview that she should not “alienate” the commission and YouTube – “unless you don’t plan on lasting long on YouTube”.
YouTube said its employee had been responding to an inquiry from Birbes about how to pitch her questions. “Our colleague encouraged her to be respectful rather than confrontational,” it said, noting that she had asked the questions she wanted to ask.
