The controversy over YouTube and its perceived support of violent jihad videos continues to embroil the blogosphere. As I stated here last week, I believe YouTube believes jihadist videos and salacious depictions of underage girls attract more viewers, and thus, allows them to charge their minimum $25,000 for advertising. I don’t believe their “attacks” on conservatives are necessarily driven by ideology as much as by populism; there are more complaints lodged by Jihadists and their left wing apologists so Youtube caves into the demands of the group it believes is bigger.
As I reported before, YouTube takes great pains to ensure that young people use their site while at the same time disavowing any responsibility for the content users post, or the safety of the children they allow to use their services. This makes YouTube a pedophile’s dream, where children often naively post sexualized performances and can be contacted by “fans.” YouTube cannot be unaware of this aspect of their service but chose to ignore it as long as possible, waiting for other users to flag inappropriate content then acting. Granted it would be a logistical nightmare for any company to monitor the activities of thousands of users, but corporations must act responsibly even if it cuts into their profits.
Supporters claim that YouTube is “changing the ownership of narrative,” a pretentious phrasing for the idea that every video posted has merit as a source of knowledge, and every poster is serving “truth.” After watching a selection of these videos, any rational person knows that this is exploitation of the worst kind. Here is just a sample of the glorious revolution YouTube promotes:

Jihadism and pedophilia are not protected by the first amendment, and a company profiting from both certainly doesn’t deserve legal protections either. Many will say that YouTube is providing a valuable service to our country in allowing these images to put our culture and our world in greater context, but I will call this what it is; treason and child exploitation.
These videos are truly appalling. The absence of ethical and moral standards in business has become all too common, and I don’t expect this to change with Google’s acquisition of YouTube. Call me cynical, but I’m betting that Google’s corporate motto “Don’t be evil” won’t keep them from hosting eye candy for pedophiles if it keeps the cash flowing,
I’m not much of a YouTube user, but if I come across any clips like these, I’ll be reporting them to the Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
That last video was great – it would have been even better if they had shown their (.)(.)s! I am not a defender of YouTube, however I would like to point out that they don’t allow child exploitation – because they don’t allow children. Thier Terms state you have to be 13 or over. The people commenting were just red-blooded males showing thier appreciation! And as for Americans being murdered, what would you do if invaders came to your country?
You disgusting pervert. Those are little girls, red blooded Americans are attracted to women. That you’re attracted to little girls is likely because you are either a man with a small penis or a sexual sadist who derives pleasure from the unnaturalness of the act of sex with little girls and the pain it causes them.
I think a better question is what would you do if I sent your I.P. address to the F.B.I you filthy deviant.
The videos no longer exist. I will say this, Muslims and Jews who support Child molestation should be executed in the most painful way. Maybe slowly sawing off their heads with a dull knife.
I prefer shooting them rather than giving death porn perverts a thrill, but I share the sentiment except that I don’t care what religion a child raper is, death should be on the table for child molesters. Christians and Atheists included.
