The Times: YouTube still hosting lectures by Islamist hate preacher Anwar al-Awlaki
"Lectures by an Islamist hate preacher whose teachings helped to radicalise the London Bridge terrorist Usman Khan have been found on YouTube years after experts warned of the dangers they present. The Counter Extremism Project (CEP), which aims to combat the activities of extremist groups online, said at the time that it had found evidence of 90 cases of terrorists who attacked western targets after being influenced by Awlaki material online. David Ibsen, executive director of the CEP, said: 'The London Bridge attack is yet another example of the consequences of inaction and negligence by online platforms. Somehow eight years after his death Anwar al-Awlaki remains a leading English language jihadist recruiter. Either YouTube’s technology or its commitment, is lacking.'"
