YouTube's Censorship of Anti-Islam Video Raises Numerous Questions Around Online Free Expression | Electronic Frontier Foundation:


 "1) The fact that the leading American Internet companies have set the bar for free speech lower than the First Amendment.

2) That placing private organizations in the position of arbiter leaves us with no formal remedy should we feel that a decision is unfair, and

3) There is nothing to keep the free speech practices of these companies from changing without warning, and nothing that requires consistency from them."
