Congressman Calls on YouTube to Pull Jihadi Videos – The Investigative Project on Terrorism
U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner has called on YouTube to make terrorist propaganda videos less accessible, particularly those of Anwar al-Awlaki, dubbed the “bin Laden of the Internet.”
“We are facilitating the recruitment of homegrown terror,” Weiner, D-NY, warned in a letter dated Sunday to YouTube CEO Chad Hurley. “There is no reason we should give killers like al-Awlaki access to one of the world’s largest bully pulpits so they can inspire more violent acts within our borders, or anywhere else in the world”
