Pekka-Eric Auvinen, 18, used YouTube to publicise his plans to attack his high school in Tuusula, hours before he killed eight people then shot himself. But Peter Fleischer, privacy counsel at Google, which bought YouTube last year, said the website was not considering passing more information to the police to avert such events. "Logistically we couldn't do pre-screening," he said. "We don't want to become censors of the web."

My opinion on my blog: YouTube Ethics

I found this really interesting. I believe if a life is at stake, something should be done. But at the same time, YouTube isn't a police force to judge who is serious and who isn't, etc.
