近日香港一首二次創作歌曲《大愛香港》被YouTube删除,引起大批網民不滿,並重新認識YouTube那套「內容識別」技術機制。
YouTube has taken an important step to protect its users against frivolous takedowns, instituting a formal process for appealing blocked videos under the ContentID program. But takedown policies are still favorable to large copyright holders.

Iran|伊朗
YouTube上載的反伊斯蘭影片(Innocence of Muslims) 引發多國反美示威。近日伊朗更以此為借口,指「公眾要求」國家攔截Google搜尋,因為它拒絕刪除旗下的YouTube影片。然而,民間更傾向相信此舉只是政府打擊國內博客的另一股浪潮。
Iran plans to switch its citizens onto a domestic Internet network in what officials say is a bid to improve cyber security but which many Iranians fear is the latest way to control their access to the web.
