Well, it seems like BYU has his own thoughts about the popular site Youtube:
| QUOTE |
| Brigham Young blocks YouTube access for students PROVO, Utah: The popular Internet video-sharing site YouTube has been blocked on campus at Brigham Young University, the Mormon church school where students agree to live a "chaste and virtuous life." BYU's filtering software blocks pornography, adult content and violence. YouTube has its own filters for porn, but BYU decided last fall to add the site to the list of those blocked through the university's Internet service, The Daily Herald newspaper reported Friday. "We use the filtering process for two reasons," BYU spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said. "First to protect students from inappropriate material. The other is because of our limited bandwidth. That bandwidth is used for academic purposes." Students who live off-campus and have a private Internet provider can view whatever they want, although it may violate the school's strict, conservative standards... |

There was a lot of hype from about 3,000 students and others against the visit of Cheney, but it seems that was drowned out by 20,000:

| Warm Welcome For Cheney A month of controversy over the decision to invite Vice President Dick Cheney to speak at Brigham Young University's commencement ended Thursday with more than 20,000 BYU graduates and their families, along with faculty and staff, soaking Cheney in applause.

BYU NOT ALONE IN USING MOTTO 'ENTER TO LEARN'
Motto magazine proclaimed this week that the words etched in stone at the entrance to Brigham Young University, `Enter to learn; go forth to serve,` make up one of the 10 best college mottos in the United States.

What you post online can get you in trouble at BYU.
| QUOTE |
| Some BYU students have learned the lesson that what you post online could get you in trouble. Climbing the outer walls of the dorm buildings at BYU is a no-no, but Jake Justice's classmate did it anyway. Pictures were taken and posted online on the social network Facebook. A few days later, the cops showed up and handed his buddy a $50 fine. So how did university police find out about the wall climbing picture? Justice says, "People turn other people in here, which I think is pretty low." A BYU spokesperson says they do not search online for student infractions, but if violations are brought to their attention, they will deal with them. |

You would think that these collage aged students would have learned this by now.
If you put something on the public Internet, it becomes public, and being public it is open to public scrutiny.
As to the sins and mistakes of BYU students being discussed, They are all still human with the human propensity for sin.
They will face the natural consequenses of their sins as we all do for our errors, and I just hope that they can get back on track. I do not believe individual actions should tarnish the whole school, as I do not think that the individual sins of Church members should tarnish the Church. Unfortunatly perceptions can be affected by bad actions
| Rather off topic, but... I think one can be prosecuted for any illegal actions in the United States that are posted on the Web. Not that it is done that often, but prosecutors can use posted information and they do not need a warrent because of information was posted on a public Forum. |

Well, what I think is pathetic is to know other students turned this guy to BYU authorities. I think the guy was wrong in doing something against the rules but I think the other students had nothing better to do?
| Rather off topic, but... Anyhow, I am not a BYU fan. There are way too many stories of censorship, particularly regarding professors and what can be taught and what cannot. I find they over do it |

I get where you are coming from. And I hated the fact some students turned them in. I guess they get bored at BYU and have to take pictures of people scaling walls.
| Rather off topic, but... I'm not too fond of many things at of BYU (There is a lot of good LDS scholarship that I do appreciate). I had a missionary companion that was shocked that I didn't want to go. I told him I didn't want to live and raise my family around that many Mormons(I was kidding him) , as I preferred the company of many different people. I felt my kids would be stronger if they had some opposition. He thought I had spoken blasphemy. |

Sad news. Another BYU student missing since Thursday. No clues as where she could possibly be. They suspect foul play.
| QUOTE |
| Authorities, family, and friends are all searching for BYU student, Camille Cleverley, who's been missing since Thursday. As the holiday weekend comes to an end, there are still few answers as to what happened to her. Camille Cleverley has missed several appointments over the last few days including a test. Family members say leaving town without telling anyone is not something Camille would do, and they are starting to suspect foul play. The news of her disappearance has generated several leads, but still no answers as to her whereabouts. Camille's family is going door to door handing out flyers. Camille's brother, David Cleverley, said, "We're just trying to keep pushing, and any efforts that we have to kind of spread the news are very helpful." Camille's family and friends hope search efforts will provide some piece of information, some clue as to where she might be. Camille's boyfriend, David Sperry, said, "You really hope that things turn out well, but the longer that time goes by, just kinda of knowing the world we live in, I don't know. It's just kind of hard to be hopeful." Her brother said, "We're definitely scared that she's been gone so long, very unnatural of her to do something like this." Camille was last seen by a roommate Thursday morning at a BYU apartment complex... |
