@Dago: According to whom? Besides, the point is, YouTube’s selective censorship of Wael’s account on the basis of violations of its TOS was not credible. How many videos of people exposing themselves remained untouched? Thankfully, Wael got it reinstated, so you’ll have to live with the fact that YouTube IS “a platform for controvers (sic) discussions.” The idea that you think it’s controversial that policemen shouldn’t rape prisoners tells us quite a bit about either your values or your ability to parse the implications of a situation.

YouTube is a commecial webproject. So it isn’t supposed to be a platform for controvers discussions.

The torture film festival is a joke that turned bad. A blogger/journalist from Egypt is behind whole silly rumor. Blame AFP for not double-checking, and blame everybody else for believe the news.

Reporting the truth about torture and oppression is in no way gratuitous. These videos should be available for the world to see, along with all the other youtube videos, most of which are gratuitous and frivolous by comparison.
