The Incident: In February of 2010, YouTube removed a number of videos containing nudity from their site, these include Greenfield's dance performance videos.

Results of Incident: Greenfield was extremely angered by YouTube's removal of her work from their site. She contacted The National Coalition Against Censorship to fight this censorship of nudity. Ultimately, YouTube made the unprecedented and groundbreaking decision to restore her videos onto the site, recognizing her use of nudity as art .
