Dr. Christ Steele, one of the UK’s well-known doctors, accused YouTube for removing numerous videos concerning the breast and testicular cancer prevention. The clips were available only for the 18+ members and were displaying some interesting tips to examine your body for early signs of cancer as The Observer reported.
“This is ridiculous,' said Steele. 'I have done live television involving examinations of women's breasts and men's testicles being shown before 9am, yet YouTube have decided to restrict who
can see what are straightforward medical education videos. More young women are now interested in breast cancer because Kylie Minogue was diagnosed with it, and testicular cancer affects mainly young men. It's nonsensical, especially given the deliberately titillating material which YouTube shows,” the same publication sustained.
In the recent period, YouTube showed us that Google aims to make the video service more than a simple solution by allowing members to use the product with different goals. Take the example of a policeman who decided to upload a surveillance video to require the users’ help to identify the suspect. Because the case was a real success, many persons were also attracted by YouTube and posted several videos on the Google product’s page.
Some time ago, a woman fighting against cancer decided to publish a movie with her story on YouTube to inform users about the disease. The clip made a lot of views from other members that encouraged the woman to fight against the disease and to provide more information about the treatment.
It’s obvious that YouTube tends to become an important part of our lives as millions of users are visiting the product every day. Although the company was affected by an impressive removal of clips, Google sustained the traffic was boosted just after Viacom demanded the search giant to delete 100.000 movies from the site.
