YouTube should be banned?!
Members of the Professional Association of Teachers claims YouTube ignored their demand to remove violent and offensive videos. Teachers reckon YouTube should be closed down in spite of the fact it is one of the popular video sharing websites on the web.
Teachers’ reasons based on the facts and accidents that took place in Scotland. Pupils filmed a teacher in the classroom and then posted it on the website alongside the caption ‘you are dead’. Sounds terrible, but it was done just for fun and nothing more.
Another striking illustration of moronity that some users are down with happened last month. Three pupils at Hayling College, Hayling Island, Hampshire, were suspended after mobile phone footage of two girls fighting was placed on YouTube.
They don’t seem to operate a complaints policy,’ Max Bullough, the college’s headteacher said. ‘They say they have a team who deal with flagged up content operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but I don’t believe it.’
It is obvious how difficult to manage with such problems. A YouTube spokesman said: “YouTube is a community site used by millions of people in very positive ways. Sadly, as with any form of communication, there is a tiny minority of people who try to break the rules. On YouTube, these rules prohibit content like pornography or gratuitous violence.”
By the way, YouTube recently joined a cyberbullying taskforce set up by the government.
