An interesting debate here:

"Should YouTube play the censor and sentinel?"

"A day after a brutal shooting in Finland left nine people dead, a review of YouTube showed few signs that Pekka-Eric Auvinen, the alleged gunman, was ever a user.

YouTube moved swiftly to remove Auvinen's videos and profile page from the site within hours of the murders. While many believe that's a proper and respectful response to the violence, some observers wish YouTube had allowed the videos to stay on the site so users could gain a better understanding of what happened.

"Yes, many people would find those videos disturbing," said Sonja Baumer, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California at Berkeley. But, she cautions, "how is the public going to learn what led him to do this? The public is curious and it should have the right to respond. What are we supposed to do, just forget about it until the next time it happens?"

Baumer's point is that the videos posted to YouTube by Auvinen, who went by the username Sturmgeist89, may offer clues as to why he allegedly gunned down six of his classmates, the school nurse, and its headmistress."

Authorities confirmed to ABC News that there may be a link between Auvinen and an American teen arrested in October for allegedly planning a similar school massacre." (In Philadelphia).
