Sweet.
(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.
And regime claims it supports freedom of speech
Besides this is a film used by al aquaida to signal time to act like barbarians to its adherents
I am pleasantly surprised. Even with all the virulent anti-Semitic videos that are on youtube I thought they would pull this.
Its a poorly made clip but I lmao ,,its not even a movie and no one lied in it ..Its just a spoof..like Monty Python.
They’ll get thrown under the Obama bus
Meanwhile, law enforcement is “interviewing” the video maker, because I am sure, the Obamoids are looking for any excuse to arrest him so they can appease their barking-mad Muslim friends in Egypt, Libya, etc. http://www.clarionledger.com/viewart/20120915/NEWS/120915001/-Innocence-Muslims-movie-maker-Nakoula-Basseley-Nakoula-interviewed-by-Feds-LA-Sheriff?odyssey=nav%7Chead
Now we depend on Google to defend our freedom from the White House. This is like reading Dr Zhuvagi.
No, it has not ignited any protests.
Hussein offended his best muslim friends when he reportedly insisted on Jerusalem being added back into his campaign.
FU Big Media and your god Hussein, too!
But think it held true to Mohammed's methodology and ideology, as far as I know, anyway.
Never understood what makes muslims think they can force the rest of the world to obey their demand that no portrayals or images of the plagerist Mohammed can be made...kinda silly.
I’m offended by all of the Obama and Moochelle ads asking for money.
PULL THEM, BECAUSE I SAY SO!
I'll wager the number of people who've seen the thing went from 20 to 20 million in the last week.
If you're so dang sensitive about your prophet being insulted, then why give the cheesy movie a vastly wider audience ? ? ?
