YouTube deletes half of 'violent' music videos

YouTube says it has deleted more than half of the "violent" music videos that Britain's most senior police officer asked it to take down - Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has blamed some videos for fuelling a surge in murders and violent crime in London - and singled out drill music.

She asked YouTube to delete content which glamorises violence. In the past two years police have asked YouTube to take down between 50 and 60 music videos, because they were deemed to incite violence. YouTube deleted 30 videos. Guardian
