The Notre Dame fire has no reported connection to terrorism or the Sept. 11 tragedy. YouTube videos of the massive fire that engulfed Paris’ Notre Dame in smoke and flames strangely included a link to a description of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The description panel is apparently part of a YouTube initiative designed to counter misinformation and conspiracy theories on its platform. YouTube told Gizmodo that these description panels are “triggered algorithmically.”“We are deeply saddened by the ongoing fire at the Notre Dame cathedral,” YouTube told HuffPost. It’s not immediately clear why the panel on Monday linked the fire at Notre Dame to Sept. 11.
