Youtube has no ethics?

Is it true that youtube has no ethics,and that it has been created only for the sole purpose of entertainment and money? i say a resounding no.

Youtibe is a popular video-sharing website .According to a 16th July 2006 survey, 100 million clips are viewed daily on YouTube, with an additional 65,000 new videos uploaded per 24 hour, and the site has almost 20 million visitors each month. With this viewership which is extremely high, advertisers would want to be on YouTube, and this in turn leads to profit-making for the company.

YouTube also provides entertainment for people. On YouTube, not only can you find millions of home-made videos which are interesting and amusing (such as a video of a girl snorting a strand of cooked spaghetti and then choking it out her mouth), you can even watch music videos and dramas. The only concern is just that some of the videos may constitute copyright infringement.

However, putting entertainment and profit-making aside, YouTube was also utilized for other useful purposes. It was used to provide healthcare information through the health-related videos which are uploaded by either doctors or laypeople. For instance, a government funded clinic in Builth in Wales, UK, has posted videos on YouTube with nurses demonstrating how to sample blood sugar levels and usean inhaler.Furthermore, even the political candidates for the 2008 US Presidential election have been using YouTube as an outlet for advertising their candidacy.

Hence, the purpose of creating YouTube is not solely for entertainment and money.
