You Tube Removes Thousands Of Al-Qaeda Videos
YouTube has removed thousands of propaganda videos from late al-Qaeda-linked cleric Anwar al-Awlaki amid mounting pressure from governments and counterterrorism advocates. For years, hundreds of hours of the jihadist cleric's talks and lectures were easily accessible on the site.
As of this autumn, a search for "Anwar al-Awlaki" on YouTube gave more than 70,000 videos ranging from his years as a mainstream American imam to his time with Al Qaeda in Yemen, the New York Times reported. The same search on Sunday (12 November), however, yielded just 18,600 videos, most of which were news reports, documentaries and scholarly material about his life and death.
This is just a start. They should keep going and remove all videos that promote violence and terrorism.
Good article John. Glad to see that youtube understands how influential these videos can be on young minds.
