BOOM: Court Rules Film Blamed for Benghazi Slaughter Shouldn’t Have Been Removed From YouTube

YouTube should not have been forced to take down an anti-Muslim film that sparked violence in the Middle East and death threats to actors, a federal appeals court ruled Monday in a victory for free speech advocates.
