re: #279 Killgore Trout

I’m quite fine with private entities willfully “censoring” themselves if they think it is in their best interest.

The administration is not forcing Google Inc. to take any action. It is requesting something to be done that Google says anybody can do - review some of its freely distributed content.

As for this:

Taking the video down only gives the Islamists a victory and they’re not going to suddenly become peaceful when they get what they want.

I disagree. If, as you claim, the Youtube video is now irrelevant, then why would it be recognized as some sort of “victory” by those who are rioting?
