YouTube is a popular Internet site that allows users to share videos. The "YouTube Generation" was named Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2006.[1] In October 2006, Youtube was purchased by Google Inc. Controversy arose after people such as Michelle Malkin claimed that it censored conservative content, [2]. This led the creation of QubeTV, similar to the creation of Conservapedia by people who believed Wikipedia to be liberal, and the Christian alternative, GodTube, which has now re-named itself[3] "Tangle".
On July 23, 2007, YouTube hosted an interactive debate between the Democratic candidates in the 2008 Presidential Election, in which YouTube users submitted videos of themselves asking questions. A similar debate involving the Republican candidates occurred on November 28. This led to controversy, as they used a question submitted by Keith Kerr, who has ties to Hillary Clinton's campaign.[4]
On August 6, 2007, a group of music publishing companies announced a lawsuit against YouTube for its hosting of copyrighted content without providing proper compensation to the copyright holders when the videos containing the content were viewed.[5]
Much of Youtube is vehemently anti-conservative. Over 60% of Christian videos with more than 5,000 views are rated at 2.5 stars or lower. Liberal videos, however, while often being much more poorly made, are usually rated at least 4 stars. Christian comments on most videos frequently attract insults by atheists. [6] In order to combat this vicious slander, Conservapedia has started its own YouTube channel.
Youtube may be opperating at a loss of nearly half a billion dollars a year. [7] Suggesting that it may be a loss leader for parent company [google] or perhaps an investment in changing the landscape of information flow in the public. Attempts to reduce the costs and increase profitable content have been met with hostility.
In May 2009, a group of liberal prankster vandals have gamed YouTube with a "Porn Day" campaign. They have managed to upload thousands of explicit videos which now shows up in search results and picture thumbs. It could take a couple of days for all porn to be removed from the search results, said parent company Google. [8]
YouTube secular progressives have created a policy to promote liberalism. That means conservative causes are scrutinized, penalized and removed. An example would be showing surgical operations but preventing showing abortion videos. YouTube is consistent when removing undercover videos that exposes dishonest counseling practices at Planned Parenthood abortion centers. [9]
