The video-sharing service YouTube updated their user-community-guidelines – thus the regulation of videos which incite others to violence will be stricter. Sen. Joseph I.

Youtube removed some videos that e.g. were marked with the logos of al-Qaeda and affiliated groups.

The debate between Lieberman and Youtube caused conflicts between holder of rights and the persons demanding to fight against terrorism.
