YouTube Censorship
Lately, YouTube is shared with so many people in the world. Most people can watch videos and put any videos on this site anytime. YouTube is entertainment and a source of information for people. However, they have many problems with countries in the world. In fact, there are so many claims about their inappropriate videos. For example, there are violent, religious, racial, individual, and sexy videos. They repeat the same problem, although the nation insists on removing the video. You Tube is immoral, because they are using freedom of speech in making fun of the king of Thailand. Those video clips are very harsh for people in Thailand. They don’t have censorship and care about knocking videos. You Tube’s problems are individual harm, freedom with no responsibility, and mischief for people in the world.

First, YouTube made people hurt in several ways. They broke individual reputations by showing movies that hurt them to people in the world. For example, people inThailand got hurt the video on YouTube. One country is a splendid individual. All of the people all over the world can watch videos and put in any videos, even if it is harmful one for somebody. You Tube has no responsibility for that work. For example, they don’t care if we put any knocking videos for somebody on the site. Actually, people’s dignity has been lost so far. This is the big international problem.

Second, freedom in this world means peace with responsibility any time. You Tube is not controlling freedom, because although they are using sharing videos they keep having mistakes. For example, they talk about freedom, but there are too many objections. They should be right by using censorship to show a lot of videos in the world. Anybody can share and put videos on the site anytime. People should share only right videos.

Third, You Tube seems cowardly. Although they made the same problem as Thailand for China before, they did it again. This is because Thailand is so much less powerful compared to China. Such actions are inconsistent with good sense. We can not think that You Tube works well and have good effect for people the same situation.

YouTube insists on freedom. They said “No”, when the nation asked to remove the video . They are not right, because they are ignoring the fact that freedom has to be with responsibility. They actually don’t work in freedom, although they insist freedom. It is not forgiveness of problems, because they show us the video for making fun. A lot of people have gotten hurt so far.

In conclusion, they need censorship, if any clips should are shown or not, for each video as soon as possible. YouTube should show only good videos for everybody from now on. Individual majesty absolutely should be protected in the world. They need to manage properly. People in the world should ask them to do right work.
