Why do laws tend to have consequences that are the opposite of what was intended?

YouTube refuses Lieberman request
Published on May 19, 2008
The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee today asked Google, the parent company of the popular online video-sharing site, YouTube, to “immediately remove content produced by Islamist terrorist organizations” from YouTube and prevent similar content from reappearing. However, the company immediately refused to comply with his request.
Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) made the request in a letter to Eric Schmidt, the chairman of the board and chief executive officer at Google, in which he said that YouTube “unwittingly, permits Islamist terrorist groups to maintain an active, pervasive and amplified voice despite military setbacks or successful operations by the law enforcement and intelligence communities.”
Lieberman asked the company not only to remove existing content but also identify changes that Google plans to make to YouTube’s community guidelines and explain how it plans to enforce the guidelines. Lieberman said removing such content should be “a straightforward task since so many of the Islamist terrorist organizations brand their material with logos or icons identifying their provenance.”

By appearing to be rational and "giving" Google a chance to help Joe and Jane shred the Bill of Rights and by Google declining to help, now Joe and Jane can put the passage of the "Thought Crime Act" on high speed, all the while wringing their hands and maybe even getting misty-eyed, as they say the refusal of the private sector to help fight never ending wars for Israel shows absolutely that censorship and policing of the Internet is needed and needed right now, unless you want another 9/11.
Yes, we're forcing Joe and Jane to take away what's left of the Bill of Rights.
And when they say we are in danger of another 9/11 attack, you'd better believe Joe boy, since it was his buddies that helped plan and carry out that attack.
P.S. Hey Joe, if Google had taken your advice, do you realize how many MOSSAD computer whizz kids, who specialize in creating PhotoShop altered images, would be out of work?
