"It took YouTube more than a week to take action against a propaganda video on its site produced by the Atomwaffen Division (AWD) — the neo-Nazi terrorist organization under FBI investigation and linked to five murders in the U.S. — and the poster’s channel remains active. The Google-owned tech giant previously banned an AWD-run channel in response to public uproar, but has since been unwilling or unable to keep the group’s content off its platform. 'It’s troubling that YouTube didn’t delete the channel that clearly uploaded an AWD video,' said Joshua Fisher-Birch, a research analyst at the Counter Extremism Project who found and reported the now-removed video. In the past, YouTube was slow to remove channels that uploaded ISIS videos, even after the videos were deleted. Though violence-minded extremists often congregate on the dark web and on fringe networks, YouTube has continued to be a mainstream place where they 'can communicate with each other and connect and share materials,' Fisher-Birch added. 'This is preventable.'"
