YouTube staff too swamped to filter out all terror-related content
Associated Press in Brussels
Wednesday 28 January 2015 19.10 GMT
Internet company Google said on Wednesday that its video-sharing website YouTube is so inundated that staff cannot filter all terror-related content, complicating the struggle to halt the publication of terrorist propaganda and hostage videos.
Google public policy manager Verity Harding said 300 hours of video material is being uploaded to YouTube every minute, making it virtually impossible for all images to be filtered.
Harding spoke at a European parliament meeting of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (Alde) on a counter-terrorism action plan.

The EU’s counter-terror chief believes it is time to help companies contain the security risk by having experts from member states flagging terror-related content.
