LiveLeak withdraws Fitna
March 29th, 2008 • Life, Video
I’m a LiveLeak addict. So it’s no surprise that, along with three million other people, I ended up watching Fitna, the 17-minute film from Dutch politician Geert Wilders. Today, the video has been removed after the LiveLeak team received ‘threats to our staff of a very serious nature’.
They go on to explain:
“This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net…. We would like to thank the thousands of people from all backgrounds and religions who gave us their support… We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.”
I suppose we can safely assume that the threats will now arrive at the door of Google.
