Who said it couldn't happen?



A major anti-Obama YouTube channel with 55 million views was shut down yesterday just days after a new policy went into effect handing governments the power to flag “extremist” content on the video sharing website.

Media commentator and activist Mark Dice, whose channel had 55 million views and 265,000 subscribers, had his account suspended yesterday for what YouTube described as “severe terms of service violations”. The channel was not deleted due to copyright issues.

The most popular videos on Dice’s channel lambasted supporters of Barack Obama. Dice had built up a reputation for his ‘man on the street’ videos which featured him getting Obama supporters to sign petitions that called for a number of insane proposals, like putting gun owners in concentration camps, killing newborn babies, repealing the first amendment to silence criticism of Obama, and granting Obama immunity from all crimes.

The thing most conservatives don't understand is that they are in the preliminary stages of a civil war. Obama has patterned his administration along the lines of a Communist revolution. He has been somewhat contained by our system but has exploited every possible gray area to increase centralized power.
This current "regulation" is a clear violation of the First Amendment, but will anything be done?
Is that why there's a Second Amendment?

Google can do what they want.

Isn't that the cry of the right when it comes to business?

Not exactly...."takedown requests" have quadrupled since 2009


For the first time, Turkey takes the top spot as the country with more requests to remove content, with 1,673. The United States follows with 545, and Brazil is third with 321.

Good company huh...wedged right in there between Turkey and Brazil?

The most worrying thing, Google warns, is that a lot of these takedown requests, which are justified with copyright, privacy or defamation claims, are often aimed at political content — hence why Google defines them as censorship.

"Over the past four years, one worrying trend has remained consistent: governments continue to ask us to remove political content," Google's Legal Director Susan Infantino wrote in a blog post announcing the report.

What's really interesting comes from the original report...just days after a new policy went into effect handing governments the power to flag “extremist” content.

So what's "extremist" about a guy polling dumb Obama supporters and putting it on You Tube?

Is what others nations do the benchmark? The death penalty, for example, places us with Iran, North Korea, Sudan...Good company, huh!!!.

I keep hearing about this "new policy", but can't find the new policy explained.

Dunno.

I wasn't concerned with with whether or not the site was extreme or not. My comment regards business and the typical way the right regards their ability to do what they what for whatever reasons they want. Pay, discrimination...I see right wing support for business autonomy constantly.

So...Google does what they want. I don't care about "requests"...and of course, the site is back up.​
