YouTube in Britain to ban any footage showing weapons as Members of Parliament (MP’s) say they want more control over internet content. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith welcomed the YouTube ban and called on other internet sites to follow suit.

YouTube spokesman cites the necessity to obey “local laws and sensitivities” they then employ perverse logic saying banning videos of weapons is now somehow related to an existing ban on NAZI footage, clearly trying to associate any gun or knife owner with the NAZI’s.

The YouTube spokesman goes on to say, “We have just established a new policy in the UK to prohibit this kind of material, and with the help of our community we’ll continue to work to keep YouTube as a platform for safe and lawful expression.”

Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith pleased with the ban says, “This is a real step forward. I would like to see other internet service providers follow suit to reinforce our message that violence will not be tolerated either on the internet or in the real world.” According to Smith owning weapons or taking pictures of your weapons is now considered an act of violence and is unlawful.

And just in case you might want to question the merits of censoring the internet, in July the Culture, Media and Sport select committee in UK’s Parliament called for a new industry body to be set up to protect children from harmful content on the web. Therefore you will be losing your rights as a citizen not because the government is tyrannical but because it is for the children.

In recent weeks the internet and particularly YouTube a hugely popular site used by people globally to share information and opinion has come under attack from a multitude of world wide government agencies and from a sinister more decentralized effort to report legitimate information channels claiming they are in violation of YouTube policies.

Many believe this is an planned effort to censor and eventually control all content on the web. Governments are accustomed to having full control over information sources but the web has proven to be a huge problem as information is reaching the masses without being approved or filtered by the state.

The Pentagon is so concerned about the free flow of information on the interenet and its complete inability to control it, the web is refered to as an “enemy weapons system.” Just who are they refering to as the “enemy?”
