YouTube bans terrorism training videos

Terrorist training videos will be banned from appearing on YouTube, under revised new guidelines being implemented by the popular video-sharing site, reports The Sydney Morning Herald.

"... In addition to the ban on terror training videos, the new YouTube guidelines includes bans on videos that incite others to commit violent acts, videos on how to make bombs, and footage of sniper attacks.

The internet has become a powerful tool for terrorism recruitment. What was once conducted at secret training camps in Afghanistan is now available to anyone, anywhere because of the web."
