YouTube Refuses To Remove Terrorist Videos

Posted by kdawson on from the how-the-interwebs-work dept.

hhavensteincw writes "YouTube has declined a request from Sen. Joe Lieberman remove videos from terrorist organizations. Lieberman said that the videos made by groups like Al-Qaeda show assassinations, attacks on US soldiers leading to injuries and death, and weapons training, 'incendiary' speeches, and other material intended to 'encourage violence against the West.' YouTube said that while it removed some of the videos highlighted by the Senator, most were allowed to stay because they did not violate YouTube's community guidelines. YouTube went on to note that they are strong supporters of free speech."

    Good to know the airheads at YouTue have their priotities in order:

    They'll remove videos that are alleged to be copyrighted, or critical of Scientology at the drop of a hat, but they'll refuse to remove videos of terrorists killing other people.

    Way to go, YouBoob.
