Google Rejects White House Request To Pull Anti Mohammad Film Clip by talk2cj08(m): 8:00am On Sep 15, 2012
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc rejected a request by the
White House on Friday to reconsider its decision to keep online a
controversial YouTube movie clip that has ignited anti-American
protests in the Middle East.

The Internet company said it was censoring the video in India and
Indonesia after blocking it on Wednesday in Egypt and Libya, where
U.S. embassies have been stormed by protestors enraged over
depiction of the Prophet Mohammad as a fraud and philanderer.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other
Americans were killed in a fiery siege on the embassy in Benghazi.

Google said was further restricting the clip to comply with local law
rather than as a response to political pressure.

"We've restricted access to it in countries where it is illegal such as
India and Indonesia, as well as in Libya and Egypt, given the very
sensitive situations in these two countries," the company said. "This
approach is entirely consistent with principles we first laid out in
2007."

White House officials had asked Google earlier on Friday to
reconsider whether the video had violated YouTube's terms of
service. The guidelines can be viewed at http://www.youtube.
com/t/community_guidelines.

Google said on Wednesday that the video was within its guidelines.

U.S. authorities said on Friday that they were investigating whether
the film's producer, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a 55-year old
Egyptian Coptic Christian living in Southern California, had violated
terms of his prison release. Basseley was convicted in 2010 for
bank fraud and released from prison on probation last June.

There is nothing wrong with that video. Infact, the message of "the home video" has been justified.
Slice it anyhow, Islam is inherently violent.

The video is actually covered under the first amendment of the US Constitution. Thumbs up to Google. A bunch of radicals ravaging embassies like buffoons isn't their problem.

"If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea offensive or disagreeable." -Supreme Court Justice William Brennan

That is very right of you Google. Political pressure cannot prevail on this matter.

If the alleged request by the White House to Google to pull the Mohammed Film is remotely true, then I conclude Obama is the most clueless President USA has ever had.
