Turns Out UK Government Only Wishes It Had Special Powers To Censor
YouTube

   "Yesterday we had a post, based on a Financial Times story that
    suggested YouTube had somehow given the UK government "special" powers
    to censor videos they don't like.  After digging deeper into this
    issue, it appears that the Financial Times report greatly exaggerated
    the facts, and while it appears that the UK government still wishes it
    had the power to censor perfectly legal videos, YouTube is not, in
    fact, aiding in this process." -- Mike Masnick
