In May 2009, a group of liberal prankster vandals have gamed YouTube with a "Porn Day" campaign.

It could take a couple of days for all porn to be removed from the search results, said parent company Google. <ref>[http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10245847-83.html?tag=newsFeaturedBlogArea.0 YouTube battling 'Porn Day' campaign] CNet News, May 20, 2009</ref> The delay was in part due to the raiders sowing confusion amongst YouTube moderators by purposely flagging non pornographic videos as containing inappropriate material.
