Google's YouTube - Soap Box for Terrorists
by Ruthie Blum • June 23, 2017 at 5:00 am
A
screenshot from one of the terror-supporting jihadi videos on YouTube
that was flagged by MEMRI. The video remains on YouTube to this day.
In mid-March this year,
major companies began withdrawing or reducing advertising from Google
Inc., the owner of YouTube, for allowing their brand names to pop up
alongside videos promoting jihad, a new report released on June 15 by
the Middle East Research Media Institute (MEMRI) reveals.
According
to the report -- which documents the failure of Google to remove jihadi
content that MEMRI volunteered to assist in flagging -- thus far,
AT&T, Verizon, Johnson & Johnson, Enterprise Holdings and GSK
are among the companies pulling their ads from the platform. Google
responded by promising to be more aggressive in ensuring brand safety of
ad placements.
Then came the
Westminster attack. On March 22, 2017, Khalid Masood rammed his car into
pedestrians -- killing four people and wounding dozens of others – then
stabbed an unarmed police officer to death.https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=wm#inbox/15cd4fd8f3ac016a
