YouTube on boob tube
Apple TV is going to be featuring YouTube videos starting next month. This is very cool because it is the first commercially viable fistula in the blood-brain barrier between television and the Internet. Depending on how they implement this (ie; filter the content), something topical posted on the 'Net could pop up on televisions all across the world.. Sure, the tv is lit up by broadbrand connections, not satellite signals, onair broadcasts or cable, but who cares?
I wonder what they will do with slanderous material? Say funny Hillary Clinton videos? Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Censorship is a never-ending process. So is litigation.
