YouTube Adds “Hate Speech” Flag To Its Videos Posted by Noel Sheppard on October 20, 2006 - 11:33. Just in time for the holidays, the gang over at YouTube has added a new flag to their videos to assist their “community” in determining “inappropriate” content. Our friend at Ms Underestimated has created the following capture of the new screen being put into effect: Frankly, this is every liberal YouTuber’s dream: the ability to flag a video as inappropriate due to it containing “Hate Speech”. After all, what we have seen from Google and YouTube lately quite suggests that hate speech is anything that speaks out against terrorism. As such, now if some conservative blogger wants to upload a video showing terrorist activities here or abroad, liberal bloggers, George Soros, or the marvelous folks at CAIR can enlist enough of their devotees to flag it as hate speech, and it can therefore be banned or come with a warning of inappropriate content. Isn’t that special?

Google's first initiative after buying YouTube? And with Murdoch owning MySpace now, to where does freedom turn?
That's what I figure. Well, when everyone becomes a whore (hey, YouTube Guys!!!!!), they all answer to a pimp.
