Youtube removes protest videos at UK gov request

This would be more interesting if it concentrated on Youtube and the government censorship than on the creative legal theories the person supposedly being censored is pushing.<p>As it is, the only actual content here is "this video isn't available in your country due to a government removal request". That's the story I'd love to see reported on.

weird. 8 points, posted 43 minutes ago, with 0 comments... and this story makes it to the front page.<p>Anyway... This is a slippery slope since anyone with enough clout can demand a video be taken down from YouTube. Who decides who has enough clout? This is just the UK doing it, but what would happen if the Saudi/Iran/Iraq government asked for the same treatment?
