YouTube has no ethics, it's been created for the sole purpose of entertainment and money

When we say someone has no ethic,it means that he or she has no moral rules or no principles of behaviour for deciding what is right and wrong. In this case, is youtube the only one who has no ethic, or is there any others who has to be responsible for that.

I would not deny that Youtube's sole purpose is for entertainment and money.YouTube is a video site created by three former PayPal employees in 2005. The popularity of Youtube has been increasing rapidly since then as it can be easily accessed and provides latest movies and television programs that are free for us to enjoy. The innovation of youtube has contribute to generalize online-video sharing concept. As their viewership increased,more advertisers paid to post their advertisement on Youtube and that is how youtube earns the profits.

However, it is unfair to say that Youtube has no ethic when they are unable to conRecently, YouTube faces increased pressure as the Thai government has banned access to the YouTube video- website after it broadcast material critical of the country's king. However, I believe that it is the person who posted the video has no ethic. On Youtube,peoplee are given the freedom to post their videos and hence they have to take the responsibility of whatever they do. We could not expect staff from youtube to watch every single video that people are going to post on and decide whether they should allow the video to be posted.If Youtube start to set limitation on posting videos,peoplee will start to complain that they are being unreasonable.

Before we question whether Youtube is ethical or not, why don’t we ask :what about those thoughtless peoplee who have no ethic?
