Good move by youtube as it will help clean out the violent videos and will reduce the impact of the violence among internet users from a major website.Its a good move for the health of youtube as world’s major countries with large audiences would reconsider there move to ban youtube in there country.

I don’t think this is a case of censorship so much as YouTube needs to cover their behinds when it comes to laws around the world. Personally, I think this is a good thing as I don’t think anyone’s freedom of speech included the freedom to incite violence in any way.

This is really going overboard. First youtube bans copyrighted movies, then now this. It’s understandable regarding copyrights, but I think it’s a personal choice on what people choose to watch, and this is just plain and hard censorship. What happened to freedom of speech?
