Google gives UK government “super flagger” status for YouTube?
What if I don't agree with the UK government views on say freedom of speech?<p>And why the UK government? What about giving that same power to the government of Afghanistan for example?<p>From a utilitarian perspective, they could use that "superflagger status" to prevent the spread of videos that have lead to violence in the past.<p>One simple example : <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/google-remove-riot-spawning-anti-muslim-youtube-video-sparked-violent-protests-violate-company-terms-article-1.1160370" rel="nofollow">http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/google-remove-riot-spa...</a><p>However, from a freedom of speech perspective all that is very very wrong. If watching a video cause you urges to start rioting and harm people, maybe it's not the video that's the problem.
