Anti-Islam video stirs censorship debate
Google refuses to remove offending video from YouTube saying they are against censorship.
16 Sep 2012
Google says it will not restrict worldwide access to an anti-Islam video, despite a request from the White House to do so.
The video, which denigrates Prophet Muhammed, sparked a firestorm of protest around the world.
Google has, however, blocked the clip in certain countries.
