Yeah I saw this. It refers to peoples business emails and what not and how you shouldn't go handing them out.

Please do not share outside of google which is completly public for anyone else to see and you just did exactly what they asked you not to

I bet it's a weird one.

I haven't seen that one yet. If you don't want it shared, then why is it public? (and/or why would private videos appear in search results?)

I just search something on YouTube and this came up as an alert.

"Experiment: There may be confidential content in your search results. Please do not share outside Google."
I don't know maybe it's too see how many times the message will be post on other website or anything. Maybe that's why it says Experiment . I know some of you in YTtalk land have the hook up with some YouTube Engineering. Any idea what this message is about? Some confidential going around or is this simple just a test there running?

Just search anything right now, and that alert will appear below the search box.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I bit of a pointless experiment. [DOUBLEPOST=1368127326][/DOUBLEPOST]

But if a person puts their business/personal email/details in the video or the videos description it becomes public. And you can hardly tell people not to share because it's over the internet, you can hardly put your hand through the screen and pull them back. That's just weird.
