8-4 IAN Pig Porn
What makes a video inappropriate? It’s like the old quote from a former senator about pornography, “I know it when I see it.” Apparently that’s what employees at YouTube thought about video of hogs living on Chris Chinn’s Missouri farm, when they flagged the video as inappropriate for anyone under 18 and could only be viewed by adults who are YouTube members. YouTube didn’t notify Chinn that they were flagging her video or give an explanation. The only reason she discovered it had happened was because one day her daughter wanted to watch it.
Chinn says her pigs aren’t porn and she’s puzzled by the decision. The video is a virtual tour of the Chinn’s hog farm, showing how they care for their animals and the environment and answering questions like what the hogs eat and why they live inside.
