Glorification of Panzers with Metal Trash

Recent pressure by jugendschutz.net and Germany's Central Council of Jews to ban videos glorifying war and racial hatred on YouTube hits global web enforcement at it's core.

Mein Kampf is banned in Germany, in Turkey it's a best seller. Prosecution of Nazi paraphanalia sales is an issue that keeps popping up. Even Yahoo! France once got pressure because it sold SS costumes. It's an ambivalent issue when the argument "Beihilfe zur Volksverhetzung," which bascially means to help seduce hate towards other nations, is put into context.

In this case, YouTube is on the hot seat or Google for that matter. The question here is whether freedom of speech trumps censorship. I think Americans are better at dealing with these freedoms, letting it vent, to show everyone how ignorant and backwards it is. And taking it down on YouTube might help it pop up on servers in Bulgaria. It's like file sharing moving from country to country. Information wants to be free, even the ugly and hateful.

UPDATE: The video above from hate rock band Landser was taken down, although YouTube still spits out 469 results and plays most of them.
