YouTube keeps police brutality videos
Google Inc. has turned down the demands of US law enforcement agencies to remove video files showing police brutality from video-sharing website, YouTube.
According to Business Insider, Google wrote in its Transparency Report, ”œWe received a request from a local law enforcement agency to remove YouTube videos of police brutality, which we did not remove”.
Google said it had declined many of the requests as they were not backed up by a court order.
US police have also engaged in brutally cracking down on anti-corporatism protesters who have been taking to US streets and occupying different cities since September.
Anti-corporatism protesters denounce the excessive influence of wealthy corporations on US politics and the government’s misguided financial policies.
Hundreds of thousands of protesters have also protested against corporatism in several European countries, including Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and Portugal.
