YouTube Bans Terrorist Training Videos

Posted by kdawson on Friday September 12, 2008 @12:07AM from the can't-say-that-here dept.

Virtual_Raider sends in an Australian news story that begins "Terrorist training videos will be banned from appearing on YouTube, under revised new guidelines being implemented by the popular video-sharing site. The Google-owned portal will ban footage that advertises terrorism or extremist causes and supporters of the change hope it will blunt al-Qaeda's strong media online campaign. The move comes after pressure... from Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman... [T]he new YouTube guidelines includes bans on videos that incite others to commit violent acts, videos on how to make bombs, and footage of sniper attacks."

No, they'll just be using their routers. Packets for terrorist training videos, per RFC 3514, will have their evil bit set.
