We know that on YouTube, anyone can post pretty much anything and although YouTube will remove most offensive materials, some will slip through the cracks unnoticed. Now that YouTube Germany has launched, some sources express concern due to some extreme right-wing videos which can be found on YouTube but are illegal under German law.

While the source in question does not actually link to any such videos, it’s easy to imagine that extreme right videos can be found on YouTube, especially if one remembers that this is not the first time this story has surfaced. First time around the videos in question were related to Blood and Honour, a neo-Nazi music promotion network, and an extreme right oriented heavy metal group called Landser.

YouTube supposedly didn’t do much about this problem the first time around, but now that YouTube Germany is live, they might want to look into it more carefully to prevent possible clashes with the German laws and various activist groups that will no doubt react loudly to any Nazi-related materials.

It's not just nazi videos. YouTube also has lots of islamist videos, while videos critical of islam are getting flagged and banned. I guess it just reflects the YouTube user community and the Glorious Wisdom of Crowds future we're heading towards.
