  • YouTube Can’t Keep Up With All The Videos Uploaded – Including Those By Terrorists

    I imaging being a YouTube video screener must involve having a very high threshold for cute kitten videos and wannabe musicians. Oh, another Jason Mraz cover, this is going to be your big break my friend!

    Google Public Policy Manager, Verity Harding, says that 300 hours of video are uploaded to the site every minute, making preventing some of the nastier footage from seeing the light of day a rather difficult task.

    It appears they may need some help with this, and the European Union’s counter-terror chief Gilles De Kerchove believes their member states should offer assistance. This from Yahoo:

    “We have to help them, and refer to them, and signal content,” [he] said. “Each member state should have a unit with people trained to do that”

    Whilst users can flag videos they deem offensive the workload is such that only one in three such videos is removed.

    I imagine with the world being as politically correct as it is these days there are a fair amount of user flags that are just grumpy people with eight house-cats and nothing better to do. I suggest for every pesky flagging YouTube threatens to take down a kitten video. Fight fire with fire, and see who caves first.
