Streisand effect

I guess it won't be long before Egypt block youtube.

I can't even find the video. When I search for it on Youtube, all I get are idiots using text-to-voice to relay the news of the video with misleading titles, images, and user account names to make it look like the actual video.

Why the heck want to watch a video of a girl suffer?.

Curiosity. Yes, it's disturbing, but it's something that is affecting our modern world. I mean, what exactly is going on at such a screwed up scene? It's something I have to see for myself and try to understand personally. Something to intimately understand how their culture differs from ours; to me, a second hand account is never enough.

edit: I finally saw it. You can barely even tell what is going on. It's just a crowd going back and forth with an occasional glance of a nude woman falling over or on the ground (it doesn't help that I don't speak the language). Quite strange to me; Where I come from, no one would get away with treating a woman this way in a crowd without getting murdered.

What do you expect ? I can easily say that arabs are the worst spammers of the internet.

Whenever I go on the Photoshop or Intel official facebook pages, they are infested by them like crazy.

For Youtube it's a dead cause, I tried searching but all I found was constant spamming. If anything go check on Liveleak, you might find what you're looking for, but I warn you about graphic content.

Ohhhhhh, how dare those nasty Arabs spam your internets. This is an outrage. Time for an invasion. Down with this sort of thing.

imXify3602d ago

I know it's harsh but dude. Everytime I see spam on facebook pages 75% of the time it's from them.

Why ? Because maybe they need another source of income ? I dunno.

Speed-Racer3602d ago

It's not so much Arabs but Indians and Pakistanis in particular. I don't have solid stats but at least 90% of the spam we get here on TS is from those two countries. It's really sickening at times.
