YouTube Yanks Jihadi Videos; Terror Wannabes Mildly Inconvenienced – Danger Room
The British government has bad news for extremists and the Qaeda-curious: It might get a tiny bit less convenient for you to access videos of your favorite jihadi media.
The Daily Telegraph is reporting that YouTube has begun removing videos featuring the extremist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki following complaints from the British government to the White House about the content. The complaints arose after British police discovered that Roshonara Choudhry, a British student who recently stabbed a Member of Parliament “to get revenge for the people of Iraq,” had viewed videos of Awlaki via the internet.
