Back on August 23, I posted about JihadTube. I found literally hundreds of videos in support of terrorism, including video of our troops being blown up, on popular video sharing site YouTube. Many of the videos were followed by comments such as “Allahu Akbar”, Arabic for “God is Great”.
Well, YouTube isn’t only home to Jihadi videos, but to Neo-Nazi ones as well.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Video-sharing Web site YouTube has met with harsh criticism in Germany for hosting clips that incite racial hatred, according to a news report due to be broadcast on German public TV late on Monday.
The videos hosted on YouTube include clips of a 1940 anti-Semitic propaganda film “Jud Suess” and two music videos of outlawed German far-right rock band Landser, which show footage from World War II depicting Nazi military operations.
Report Mainz, which is due to air the program, said in a statement that Social Democrat (SPD) parliamentarian Dieter Wiefelspuetz said airing the clips on YouTube in Germany was scandalous. Report Mainz quoted him as saying: “Publishing these films amounts to aiding and abetting incitement of the people.”
These legitimate complaints were met with predictable results:
Google Germany was not immediately available for comment.
No, they never seem to be. Google as a whole is pretty bad at removing legitimately bad material. As I’ve stated before, YouTube was able to remove Michelle Malkin’s politically incorrect videos within hours of posting.
The hundreds of jihad-supporting videos? The countless comments in support of terrorism? The blogs on Blogger owned by al Qaeda in Iraq and propaganda wings of al Qaeda? The anti-semitic videos? Well, despite the constant flaggings, Google just can’t seem to find those.
