skyrider 0 #1 November 3, 2010 Video sharing sites like You Tube are a wonderful innovation, allowing people from all over the world to share videos online, however they also provide the means whereby terrorist organizations like al-Qaeda can promote videos that incite violence or other illegal activities. You Tube has hosted a number of video clips that were created by Anwar al-Awlaki, who was believed to be the mastermind behind the latest plot involving cargo planes, and although his videos were removed by You Tube yesterday, many more videos that promote terrorism still remain. The removal of the videos was begun following a request by the British Government to the White House, which complained about them. According to The Daily Telegraph, there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of videos that call Muslims to action that still remain on the popular video sharing site. By doing a search on Google for one of the main videos that was asked to be removed, "44 Ways To Support Jihad", there are more than 100 results showing from You Tube, and 617,000 results in total. Scary thought isn't it! When users try to click on videos that have been deleted, they see instead a message saying that the video was removed because it's content violated YouTube's terms of service. The Terms Of Service (TOS) says that the site "prohibits dangerous or illegal activities such as bomb-making, hate speech or incitement to commit specific and serious acts of violence". Various problems remain however, not the least being how to monitor sites like YouTube to prevent illegal videos from being added in the future, and to report those that have been added, so that they can be flagged for removal. YouTube does in fact allow members to flag videos as inappropriate, however it is relying on it's members to do this, and with the potential number of illegal videos increasing, the number of people that are required to monitor and action these requests could be required to increase dramatically.

Scary thought isn't it! "Conservative terrorism" Youtube: “conservative terrorism” results 1 - 20 of about 1,750 Google: About 6,220,000 results (0.16 seconds) Is that as scary? The number of Google hits is generally not a very good way to determine . . . anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tkhayes 348 #6 November 4, 2010 what happened to free speech and the Constitution and all that? Quotewith the potential number of illegal videos increasing what makes a video 'illegal'? Just what I want - the White House determining what videos I can and cannot watch online or on TV...... And the "Christian molesting link" above hits it on the head. If we are going to stop Muslims from recruiting Muslims, then we better shut down Pat Robertson too..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonD1120 62 #7 November 4, 2010 I received this link the other day from a retired SF buddy. Mr. Saleem discusses several aspects of the Islamic life including Jihad worldwide. He was an active terrorist, taught by his parents. http://northeast.churchforallnations.com/site/current/current-events/kamalsaleemLook for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Skyrad 0 #8 November 4, 2010 So what? All of a sudden you listen to the opinions of a man who by his own admission grew up in a family who were extremists. By his own admission his world view and that of what he thinks Islam is steeped in the views of the extreme. This is like getting a video of a former Christian terrorist and having him explain what Christianity is all about. And 'Oh what a suprise' he's trying to sell a book to the Christian right in the USA. How objective he must be D- (Must try harder) When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.
