- theaustralian.com.au
VIVA – CEO of YouTube, Susan Wojcicki, announced to step down as head of the Google-owned video platform because of personal matters. It is known, Wojcicki has led YouTube through a range of turbulent times since she took over the company in 2014.
"I have decided to step down from my role as head of YouTube and embark on a new chapter focused on family, health, and personal projects that I am passionate about," Wojcicki said in an email to staff, which was shared on YouTube's official blog.
Alphabet CEO, Sundar Pichai in a statement said that Wojcicki has built an amazing team. Moha is ready to start and lead YouTube through its next decade of success.

Wojcicki joined Google as a marketing manager in 1999, a few months after its founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin rented the garage of her parents' Silicon Valley home as their office. She advised Brin and Page to buy YouTube in 2006 and the online advertising platform DoubleClick in 2007.
At last year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Wojcicki illustrated that responsibility by saying that the conflict in Ukraine has shown that information does play a key role and information can be weaponized.
After engaging in censorship of what it deemed as 'misinformation' about the 2020 US elections and Covid-19, YouTube eagerly complied with the EU's request to ban access to all Russian state media on the bloc's territory, after the conflict in Ukraine escalated. The company itself decided to create a worldwide ban shortly thereafter.
However, the platform continues to operate in Russia, so it can deliver independent news to the country and help citizens know what is going on and have a perspective from the outside world.
