The Congressional Summer Follies are starting early.
Isn’t it better to have terrorist messages out in the open, where intelligence experts and any number of interested amateurs can monitor them and warn of impending dangers, rather than driving them underground where they’ll be harder to track? Disagree with Lieberman on this.
Youtube has regularly censored Michelle Malkin’s videoblog posts. They have done so because of the “tone” and nature of the “political content” of her posts (not copyright violation).
They are not a common carrier. Therefor Google’s Youtube CAN be taken to task for the content they DO leave online (like pro-jihadist pro-terrorist clips).
I wouldn’t want the government to start censoring - however as a private company, YouTube does have an obligation to listen to its users. That’s why I support users flagging these film according to the rules YouTube has already set in place through their terms of use... According to the TOS at YouTube these videos are a violation. I have to admit that it’s ridiculous that some of these stay up for so long... Especially certain users whose only videos are promotion of violence against our soldiers and in support of the terrorists. We already have a law on the books that prohibits them from providing service to terrorists, but that apparently doesn’t mean much of anything to those running the service.
