Google reveals 'terrorism video' removals

Google have admitted that they have had to remove about 640 videos promoting terrorism on YouTube over the second half of 2011, they did this after recieving complaints from the UK's Association of Police Officers. The firm said it terminated five accounts that were linked to the suspect videos. However, they said that they had rejected many other state's requests for action. Canada's Passport Office was one among the organisations which had been rebuffed. They had asked for a video of a Canadian citizen urinating on his passport and then flushing it down the toilet be removed. Google also refused to delete six YouTube videos that satirised Pakistan's army and senior politicians.
