Hamburg — Germany's national Jewish body said Thursday it
has filed suit against YouTube and its parent company Google,
demanding a court order for the site to be permanently purged
of anti-Semitic videos.

Stephan Kramer, secretary general of the Central Council of Jews
in Germany, said in Hamburg, "we charge Google with aiding and
abetting racial hatred and discrimination on its YouTube video-
platform subsidiary.

"We applied this week for an injunction from a court in Hamburg."

He said one example was a video clip that showed a late president
of the Central Council, Paul Spiegel, being burned alive. He charged
that it had been available for download for months on end.

YouTube allows users to flag videos as inappropriate, leading to
a review by YouTube editors who can delete videos that breach
the platform's terms of use.
