Wait…What? Google Executives Put In Jail For Failing To Remove A YouTube Video In Enough Time?!

My on my is the world a screwed up place some times.

OK here is the story:

A YouTube video was uploaded of a Kid with Down Syndrome being bullied.

The video went viral but that’s not where things get odd.

Because 4 Google Execs “Failed to remove the video within 6 hours”…3 of them are given 6 month jail terms!

There are 20 hours of video uploaded every second on YouTube so managing video’s is tough.

I am not the only one finding this odd (it is on the top of Reddit mind you!).

While the video was not at all needed on YouTube putting people in Jail because they responded a little to slow is barbaric.

As Tech Dirt put it:

“It’s hard to hear about this ruling and not consider the Italian legal system to be a joke.”
