Numerous privacy complaints were filed against the video, which resulted in it being taken down. While I understand that perspective because some personal information was indeed revealed, everything in that video was collected from the public domain and thus fair game and essential to identifying the person who built the site (and her motives). I have my thoughts about YouTube's actions - including that most news videos that identify people (including in cases of misconduct) remain posted regardless of whether those people like it or not - but it is what it is and we found alternatives. I hope some day journalism by and for the community will reach the same level of respect that mainstream media gets in terms of validity and distribution.

And, you're welcome

[QUOTE="Jayhawkeditor, post: 2182610, member: 69521"] Numerous privacy complaints were filed against the video, which resulted in it being taken down. While I understand that perspective because some personal information was indeed revealed, everything in that video was collected from the public domain and thus fair game and essential to identifying the person who built the site (and her motives). I have my thoughts about YouTube's actions - including that most news videos that identify people (including in cases of misconduct) remain posted regardless of whether those people like it or not - but it is what it is and we found alternatives. I hope some day journalism by and for the community will reach the same level of respect that mainstream media gets in terms of validity and distribution. And, you're welcome :) [/QUOTE]
