Peeling The Layers Off YouTube
The first in a six-part article on Google's conservative censorship.
After numerous reports of videos being banned from YouTube, a Google Global Company, the need for answers became paramount. Researching the videos that currently reside on YouTube, took quite some time; they are seemingly endless.
Several weeks ago, NMATV sent out newsletters stating they had added a channel on their site for video’s banned from YouTube. Gary Schneider, President of New Media Alliance, Inc., and Heritage New Media’s Partner, Inc. says the problem is even larger than NMATV, others not affiliated with his website have claimed YouTube is censoring items that adhere to the company’s guidelines for content, and have still been pulled. Google and YouTube, when questioned, give only automated responses, if any at all, citing copyright infringement, offensive content, abusive language etc, etc.
The problem is that criticizing Google can be considered suicidal.
As they are the most-used search engine on the Internet, they essentially have the power to make your site go away, and they know it. Any dissent is punishable.
