Life has changed and technology has too. So we should follow these changes and deal with them, but we have to make sure that what we follow is legal. Ivor Tossell (March 24 2006), in “YouTube is my tube”, says it is difficult for us to use the internet without browsing YouTube. But the big problem is that there is no controlling for submitting. That means it is easy to use; and you can submit any video that you want, such as an episode of a series, at any time you want. In addition, the author says, YouTube doesn’t make money for profit.

In my opinion, Google should remove bad video as soon as it can.

First, some videos contain hurtful situation videos. For example, imagine that you had an accident and you got hurt and bled. One month later, when you browsed the internet and visited YouTube, after that you remembered your accident. Then you said to yourself “Let me watch a funny video accident,” then you wrote “accident” and pressed search. What will your feeling will be when you watch yourself with a bad situation? How that will affect your feeling?

Second, some videos contain private lives. For example, imagine that you and your wife had a nice trip; and the best time that you spent was relaxing in the swimming pool. After that trip, your friend calls you and says to you, “ Hi Aziz I saw you in the Youtube; you were good, I will send you the link”. Then, you log to on your PC; and you got your friend’s mail; and press the link; and you find you and your wife in the pool. The problem is not that only you and your friend watched the private video, but also that many people around the world watched that video too.

Third, some videos contain violent attitudes. For example, when you browse YouTube, and write “Violence”, then press search, you will find thousands of violent clips such as killings, bombings and cutting hands or legs. This kind of videos teaches some people to do what they watch. So, some people think the killing is good and makes you a hero. Thus, some people think the bombing is the only way to get what they want.

I completely agree that YouTube is a good site. It contains a lot of
useful and funny videos. But unfortunately it contain bad video too. So Google should be serous with bad videos by removing them from their site and making some responsibility for their site and people.
