   The father of slain television news journalist Alison Parker   
   blasted Google-owned YouTube for allowing despicable videos of   
   her murder to proliferate on the popular video platform.   
      
   Parker, 24, and her cameraman Adam Ward, 27, were shot by 41-   
   year-old Vester Lee Flanagan during a live interview in Moneta,   
   Va. Flanagan, a disgruntled former reporter who later died from   
   a self-inflicted gunshot wound, recorded the shooting on a GoPro   
   he was wearing.   
      
   The horrific footage went viral on social media, forcing   
   Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to take down videos as other   
   versions kept getting posted. Parker recently filed a complaint   
   and request for investigation with the Federal Trade Commission   
   alleging that YouTube is violating its own terms of service by   
   hosting videos that show people being murdered.   
      
   “The platform’s Terms of Service proclaim that violent content   
   is not allowed, leading users to reasonably believe that they   
   will not encounter it,” the complaint says. “In reality, these   
   videos are commonplace on the platform, and many of them have   
   remained there for several years.”   
      
   "I want to see Google stop profiting from Alison's murder," said   
   Andy Parker during a Thursday appearance on The Daily Briefing   
   with Dana Perino. "If complaint stands on its own, I am hoping   
   this will kickstart effort to revoke or amend Section 230."   
      
   Although Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act provides   
   tech companies with broad immunity in terms of being responsible   
   for what gets published on their platforms, in recent years   
   lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have questioned whether it   
   gives Big Tech too much power.   
      
   A spokesperson for YouTube provided Fox News with the following   
   statement via email: "We specifically prohibit videos that aim   
   to shock with violence, or accuse victims of public violent   
   events of being part of a hoax,” she explained, via email. "We   
   rigorously enforce these policies using a combination of machine-   
   learning technology and human review and, over the last few   
   years, we’ve removed thousands of copies of this video for   
   violating our policies. We will continue to stay vigilant and   
   improve our policy enforcement.”   
      
   Parker said he has been meeting with Republican and Democratic   
   senators to discuss what can be done about this issue.   
      
   "Their response is a complete utter lie," he said. "They've lied   
   from the get-go."   
      
   Parker told Perino that he has been harassed by conspiracy   
   theorists who label him an "actor."   
      
   “The users who perpetuate this type of entertainment continue to   
   harass Mr. Parker by discounting his suffering as fake,” the   
   filing says. “Yet to this day, Mr. Parker and his family have   
   had only one tool available to defend themselves from such   
   traumatic vitriol and the nightmare of seeing their daughter’s   
   death: watch these videos one-by-one in order to report them.”   
      
   YouTube, which sees over 500 hours of video uploaded every   
   minute, says that it removed more than 1.3 million videos for   
   violating its policies in the third quarter of 2019.   
      
   "If there is such a thing as bipartisanship left in this   
   country, this is where we can do it," Parker said. "I'm doing   
   this for the Sandy Hook families, the Parkland families,   
   everyone who has been victimized."
