Title: YouTube swamped by porn Post by: Alex on May 24, 2009, 01:45:34 PM YouTube swamped by porn
Reports indicate that YouTube was swamped yesterday by an abundance of pornography. A large group of users began uploading seemingly innocent clips, many with kid-friendly tags such as "Jonas Brothers" and "Hannah Montana". The clips however, while possessing 30 seconds of normal content at the beginning, were predominantly explicit. The attack is being dubbed the "Porn Day" attack by the culprits, users of the website "4chan". Google has said that it is aware of the attacks, are is taking the appropriate action. Unfortunately, thumbnails may remain on the website for up to a week while Google removes the offending material.
