I told you that YouTube tends to become a real phenomenon. Now, you must believe me because the video service imposes new laws in the UK after numerous clips were published on the Google product. According to CNET, the UK voted new laws to give more power to the teachers and allow them to confiscate the mobile phones equipped with cameras. It seems like the students used the handheld devices to record the classes and post the clips on YouTube, although that wasn't allowed.

"New powers allow teachers to confiscate mobile phones which film them maliciously but I believe there is a wider responsibility upon the providers of the sites which broadcast this material. The online harassment of teachers is causing some to consider leaving the profession because of the defamation and humiliation they are forced to suffer," the UK Education Secretary Alan Johnson said according to the same source.

In the recent period, more and more clips were published on YouTube although most of them were infringing the guidelines imposed by the Google product. As you know, there are a lot of members trying to upload clips on YouTube with a different goal than the one mentioned by Google. For example, numerous police officers published surveillance videos on YouTube to identify and arrest the suspects. Using the members' help, the police was able to find the suspects and resolve important cases. Recently, a woman fighting against leukemia posted a clip on Youtube to find a matching donor able to help her rescue her life. According to the video service, the woman managed to find a donor in Denmark, after the clip recorded thousands of views bundled with several comments to encourage her fight against the disease.
