Terrorist Videos on YouTube, YouTube Terrorist

"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."

YouTube is right on the money with this one. While these videos may be in poor taste and show graphic violence against U.S. soldiers it is a matter of freedom of speech. If YouTube take down these videos where will it stop? If they start taking down videos at everyone's request there won't be very many videos left.

What one person finds offensive may not be offensive to the other. This is what makes YouTube what it is. It is an open portal to upload video for EVERYONE to participate. As long as the video is suitable for viewing it is not censored.
