YouTube staff too swamped to filter out all terror-related content | Technology | The Guardian

About 300 hours of video material is being uploaded to YouTube every minute, said Google policy manager Verity Harding, who stated: “To pre-screen those videos before they are uploaded would be like screening a phone call before it’s made.”
