YouTube Gets It Wrong on Online Hate
(Jerusalem Post) Andre Oboler - A few months ago, efforts were made to shut down the YouTube presence of MEMRI, the institute that provides the English-speaking world with insight into the Mideast media. PMW's violation appears to be that it was posting "hate material." However, like MEMRI, that material was not shared for the purpose of incitement, but to expose and counter the spread of hate. Any argument that uses free speech to prevent the exposure of hate speech is deeply flawed.
