Unless you've been living under a rock the past few days, probably aware of the violent protests in Egypt and Libya in the American missions that have caused several deaths, including that of U.S. Ambassador Christopher J. Stevens. The flash point clear of these events was a trailer on YouTube and it is clearly a film very offensive and insensitive about Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. We have seen similar stories in the past over website content, but this incident takes things to a whole new level.

Today we learned that YouTube has taken action to restrict access to the video in question, both in Egypt and Libya. When questioned about this, YouTube has responded to the following statement.

"We work hard to create a community that everyone can enjoy and also allows people to express different opinions," said YouTube by e-mail. "This can be a challenge, because what is good in one country may be offensive elsewhere.

This video - which is widely available on the Web - is clearly our guidelines and remain on YouTube. However, given the difficult situation in Libya and Egypt have temporarily limited access in both countries. "

While I understand why YouTube is that I think it is wrong for two reasons. Firstly, stupid and hateful that the video in question is blocking access (potentially perceived as taking Egypt and Libya) can be interpreted as meaning that the responsibility for what happens is, in part, 's own video. No. Responsibility for the violence is a stupid video. Even in mass protests in the Muslim world against the video (although I'd probably suggest learning Streisand effect). Responsibility for the violence and death is part of thugs and assassins who have been committed. End of story. This is especially true when the company acknowledged that the video does not violate YouTube's terms of service.

EFF agrees.
