Video sites that host user-generated content need to do more to screen videos in order to ensure they do not have material that is inappropriate for children, according to a UK parliamentary body.
Parliament's Culture, Media and Sport Committee said without proper monitoring sites can accidentally publish pornography, child abuse or other illegal content, the group said in a report.
The committee said reform was needed after an alleged gang rape video was uploaded to YouTube and viewed 600 times before being removed. They said sites should hire more people to screen content and use better filters.
