YouTube moves to curb hateful, violent speech

A kinder, gentler YouTube may be on the horizon. The video streaming company has taken another step aimed at cutting down the number of clips on its site that feature hateful and violent speech. YouTube, which is owned by Google, says it will remove videos that contain insults at people based on race, gender expression, sexual orientation or other "protected attributes." What's more, YouTube will bar even veiled threats of violence — a further step into monitoring and moderating what people can say on clips they create and upload.
