14 DAY TRIAL // The online video sharing service YouTube caused important trouble in China where a clip posted by a user shows incredible chaos during a high-school class. This is quite shocking because China is that type of country that promotes military-like schools, most of the students being addicted to discipline and justice. However, the clip recorded no less than 4.050 views and 11 comments, the first of them being quite relevant: "I don't know what to say, I am Chinese, I am ashame about them," a YouTube member said. The four-minute clip shows almost the same classroom attacks just like in other cases reported all over the world and published on YouTube. According to The Telegraph, the teacher was identified but he refused to comment on the case.
"The incident also became subject to what is a newly fashionable past-time in China: the internet witch-hunt. Clues were sought out as to where the school was, and it was finally identified as the Beijing Arts Vocational Middle School in the city's Haidian district. Before long, the pupils involved were named and their telephone numbers posted on the blogs. The ringleader, it was claimed, was known to his friends as "Big Donkey". Earlier this week at one point a crowd gathered outside the school and threatened to attack a minibus that was believed to be carrying some of the pupils," The Telegraph reports.
As you might know, there were a lot of similar cases reported all over the world, most of them being ended by expulsions and student suspensions. It's obvious that Google's video sharing service tends to become more than a simple video product because more and more users are lured to use it with a different goal. Think at the numerous police officers who posted surveillance videos on YouTube to identify the suspects of the case and save the victims. After multiple users contributed to the case, the police managed to arrest the suspects and resolve the cases.
