[GOOD!] In 'Watershed Moment,' YouTube Blocks Extremist Cleric's Message
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/12/us/politics/youtube-terrorism-anwar-al-awlaki.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
Now, under growing pressure from governments and
counterterrorism advocates, YouTube has drastically reduced
its video archive of Mr. Awlaki, an American cleric who
remains the leading English-language jihadist recruiter on the
internet six years after he was killed by a United States
drone strike. Using video fingerprinting technology, YouTube
now flags his videos automatically and human reviewers block
most of them before anyone sees them, company officials say.
