Bogus protest on anti-scientology videos prompts YouTube to rethink its takedown policy

YouTube has received thousands of notices that claim that it is hosting videos with alleged illegal content. The notices are aimed at anti-Scientology videos, but evidence suggests that the notices are actually being filed from the same individual. YouTube is restoring videos that it had removed when the stream of 4,000 notices first began flowing in. But the situation leaves it with a problematic policy in how it determines when it should take down videos.
