YouTube Censors My Islam Video
By • 7/10/09YouTube informed me today that they have disabled my video “Islam: Religion of Injustice” because it violates their community guidelines: “We encourage free speech and defend everyone’s right to express unpopular points of view. But we don’t permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity).” Of course, my video was more of an example of hate facts than hate speech—see the transcript of the text of the video here. YouTube’s action certainly merits an activism campaign, and I’ll put one up soon. For now, I’ve put the Islam video on my Facebook account, but I’ll eventually want to find a better home for it.

It’s not the first time… Youtube has done terrible things already. For example, Rendier, a White South African, has videos explaining the situation of South Africa regarding race, hate crime, and opression of the White minority. Since YouTube cannot ban that, they slowed down the quality of his more important video, so now it’s not really watchable.

“My video has been edited… and not by me… It never use to be this choppy. What has youtube done and why isnt the video smooth anymore???”
Unbelievable…
As for alternatives, maybe you can try on Google Videos.
There are no alternatives that would give you the same level of publicity.
Liveleak is not as intolerant as YouTube. They allowed Fitna, which YouTube initially banned.
Yes, I’m telling you, Google Videos, but as JW says, it will never give you the same level of publicity. Not even near to it. YouTube posess, without a doubt, online video’s monopoly.
Youtube, Google, etc., it seems that all important web commodities are owned by a bunch of liberals. Why isn’t there any conservative youtube? Are conservative people stupid?
I put the video on Vimeo. We’ll see how long it lasts there! Thanks for all the suggestions. Sorry I didn’t read your comment, Dunadan.
They banned my whole account for posting “The Genetics of Black Violence.” I reposted it a different way, and they have not been able to take it down even though the same “anti-racists” have been flagging it.
