Liveleak has controversy?? - VGF

I opened up their page and found this in red. DId some of their staffmembers get killed?

"Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers.
This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one.
Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture.
We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high."

What's Liveleak?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Why did you ask? It's not like he actually has a reason for most of what he does.

Wait, we have a problem with discussing religion-induced media censorship in PP&R now?

Kil'jaeden · 03-30-2008, 02:25 AM

Why is it that no one can talk badly of Islam on TV without death threats, or in movies, newspapers, or on the Internet?

GRENTLEMEN · 03-30-2008, 06:30 AM

Because Islamic extremists are crazy?

I'd say censorship is a big issue considering our country is supposed to believe in free speech. Oh and my topic "Liveleak has controversy??" was sarcastic. It's like the dark version of youtube in terms of videos as well.

**Dr. Horrible** · 03-31-2008, 06:32 PM

That didn't happen in this country.

It's about letting freedom of speech go down the drain because of threats from some extremists. Islam deserves no special treatment with free speech.
