Google report reveals YouTube takedown requests... by country
UK wants jihadists off, Germany nixes Nazis, US wants to hide cop brutality
...
Among other things, US authorities got in touch with Google when they wanted to kill some YouTube videos showing police brutality. Google states:
We received a request from a local law enforcement agency to remove YouTube videos of police brutality, which we did not remove. Separately, we received requests from a different local law enforcement agency for removal of videos allegedly defaming law enforcement officials. We did not comply with those requests, which we have categorized in this Report as defamation requests.
In total the US courts, government and police asked for 113 videos to be taken down, one because it showed "government criticism".
Google complied with just 63 per cent of content removal requests from American authorities... ®
This would seem to be quite natural. Research apparently shows that many criminals in prisons are apparently unable to perceive/accept that they have done anything wrong.-IainB (October 27, 2011, 05:54 PM)
Meh... Maybe that's not the best example in the US considering how many people they lock up.Eh? Could you explain for me please? No sure I Understand this.-Renegade (October 28, 2011, 08:31 AM)
Picture of police medic using truncheon with caption:Yes, he's not wearing a hard-hat like the other truncheon-wielders. Could be risky from a H&S perspective. ;D
Does anybody else see something
fundamentally WRONG with this image?-40hz (October 28, 2011, 02:35 PM)

He's picking on the fact that we (in the US) like to lockup citizens for dumb shit, and then let the real criminals go free ('cause there's no room left/) ... Because they're harder to catch and dangerous and stuff.-Stoic Joker (October 28, 2011, 03:02 PM)
Yes. It was a tongue in cheek comment on how the US has more people in prison per capita than pretty much anywhere else (a failed attempt at humour).-Renegade (October 28, 2011, 07:07 PM)
