John Galt, I want to thank you for your excellent approach to this issue. In response to your piece on private censorship and the will to think, I have written an article that hopefully continues in the spirit of your video. The whole article can be found at www.mwjenkins.com and provides a bit more context.

Please excuse the low-tech: this webcam is from the stone age and it's my first time.

  • But how can we open up this dialogue with YouTube? What would make them willing to display videos on this site that a large number of people found offensive or inappropriate? Without something that they find economically appealing, this is all just theory.

  • An additional degree of security if necessary could be ID verification of some kind using a third party ID verification system like Verisign. If a video receives a sufficient amount of flags then users must use the third party ID verification to view the video, include a disclaimer explaining YouTube doesn't agree with the speakers of the video, By viewing this by choice you can't take legal action vs. YouTube.

  • Really just applying the warning to video's would be enough. Maybe even include a blog of comments about the video on the warning page, users warning users, description maybe like, " I think this is hatespeach" etc.. Information is the key really. An additional degree of security would be ID verification of some kind using a third party ID verification system like Verisign.

  • I can only agree

  • Since I am too sick to comment, the least I can do is post this on my channel, and hope people see it. Thanks.
