You Tube blocks viral spread of Wikileaks video

As so often happens with controversial content, and especially videos showing military crimes, You Tube has blocked the viral spread of the powerful and damning Wikileaks video by imposing age verification and a required log-in.

Yesterday, Alex Jones (Wikileaks) addressed the video the Pentagon never wanted the public to see in the first place. Now, simply viewing the video requires going through two levels of confirmation– requiring users to log-in, certify being over 18 years of age and confirming the “wish” to view the video. (Both messages are displayed below.)
