Why does YouTube keep abusing its own policies and removing innocent videos?

Why is it that whenever there's a new video about David Icke on YouTube, it gets removed after a few months? I've noticed this pattern with many of them.

There is something definitely wrong with YouTube management. It has been removing many videos for no valid reason, according to its own TOS or community guidelines.

Has anyone else noticed this?

They seem to be removing plenty of videos that contain no copyright infringements and no violations of their community guidelines at all. Not just conspiracy videos, but videos about many other controversial topics as well. I can't explain it. They've done it with my YouTube channel too. Even my most NON-controversial videos that violate nothing at all in the slightest, keep getting removed. I swear, something fishy is going on.

The only logical conclusion is that someone in YouTube management is removing mass numbers of video based on personal bias alone. This means that their own staff is not even following their own guidelines and policies. I have written YouTube many times about this, but they don't care. It seems that once someone in YouTube management has you targeted, they will do active searches for you and your videos and remove them everytime you upload them, even if they are 100 percent innocent.

In short, YouTube management is abusing their power, and their upper management don't seem to care and are doing nothing about it.

Has anyone noticed that too?

What is going on? Does anyone know?

If you don't have all the pieces for the puzzle you wont be able to solve it. Or even try to connect the pieces.
That's why i read books. Old books.

Censorship; propaganda; revisionist history...

You might be surprised to find out that the bulk of the "history" lessons you learned in school are outright lies.
As for the "news" we see on television and on the internet, its sole purpose is to serve as a medium for the dissemination of world government propaganda.

As an experiment, try posting anything negative about Israel on Youtube, in the Yahoo News viewer commentary, or, for that matter, even on ATS.

If you can't get a company like AT&T or Paypal to obey the law and do what you pay them to do.toYow do you expect a service that is free like Youtube is going to support you.

This is the way to do it! The establishment is working to destroy the free internet and this is how they have done it - the public's own stupidity. Once upon a time everyone used unique protocols, creating all manner of servers and protocols. Over time, everyone stopped using everything except http. Then, people stopped using their own email clients and even messaging clients largely, stopped creating their own web sites and started using profiles on social media sites as their "web page". Now huge swaths of the population do everything on centralized sites like Facebook, or through Google's framework. People stopped innovating the network and started relying on these centralized systems for everything, which have raped their privacy and have been tightening censorship and control. We still HAVE an open internet and we can still create clients and protocols for whatever we want to do. Go back to using a private email account, not Facebook to message your friends. Use protocols like FTP to transfer files or create new client and server systems. Branch out. Don't get lazy and keep using the behemoth corporations. The internet is not limited to what a few massive companies are offering. We can do anything with it. Leave Facebook. You can transfer whatever you want through email. You can use jabber or other IM clients to talk to people in real-time. We can set up new web pages when one like YouTube gets too big for its britches. Constant innovation is what made the internet so popular, but then everyone got lazy and let themselves get sucked into centralization. We need to keep moving and not get stuck on places like Facebook and Youtube and Google, etc.

T.P.T.B. are stepping on Everything.

I don't know what's going on. They even take down my own personal videos now or something goes wrong with it. Every time I try and upload something, first of all it takes forever to process, and then never appears.

It's ridiculous.

Thanks for that info. I didn't know where to go. I hate youtube now.

In reply to the OP. If you're uploading stuff that belongs to other people and if they happen to be policing youtube then your stuff will be removed. I get a warning for vids that includes music that doesn't belong to me. They have some sort of tracking that can tell what's on your vid. If owners don't want you to have it, they'll tell youtube and it's gone. Some folk get away with stuff, others are caught within minutes. David Icke might be losing money so they're taking down his videos so folk will have to buy them instead.

(whisper - or maybe someone else doesn't want you to know what he's saying?)

edit on 1-2-2012 by jazzguy because: (no reason given)

Where is the official announcement from YouTube about these changes? Can you be more specific about what the changes will be? Those videos don't say anything specific.

But my videos are not about that. They are about global dating and how a man is treated one million times better overseas by higher quality foreign women. There is no hate speech in my videos, only solid facts and experiences. Nothing that violates any copyright or guidelines. Even a one minute intro by me talking, with NO music, was taken down. I swear to God, they are taking down videos with NO copyright/guideline infringements.

A few of my videos did contain music. They were taken down. But many of my videos that contained NO copyrighted music were taken down too. That's the point. Even a one minute intro by me with no music at all was taken down.

There must be angry people with biases on YouTube who are abusing its own policies who are removing anyone they don't like. It happened to my friend too.

What's going on? How do I reach YouTube's upper management to report abuse by their own staff?

Youtube is now owned by Google, the fascist tyrannical Corporation which is part of Zion.


Use an alternative like Zippcast as someone mentioned, or better yet...host your videos on your own website.

I believe you, but is taking a stance against Israel, "hate speech"?
Again, try posting a polemic against Iran, and then separately, one ranting against Israel.
See what happens.

When showing you tailored ads, we will not associate a cookie or anonymous identifier with sensitive categories, such as those based on race, religion, sexual orientation or health.

You see what they want you to see, the whole internet has been going that way for years.
Chat rooms were all the rage, then mostly vanished in favour of forums - now most forums are going that way for the likes of *spit* Facebook, where it's easier for them to see who you are, what you do and who you talk to.
MMO's are being spirited into forcing people to give up what online anonymity they have. Vids, even the most innocent of ones have been vanishing off Youtube for years, but now it happens so fast people are left scratching their heads in a WTF fashion. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if soon Youtube - the last bastion of leaving really #ty comments - forces it's users to use their real names to post. Perhaps it doesn't have to since Google hold's it's balls anyway.

Oh for the days of being able to find all these random web pages when people still had free speech, now they steer you to where they want you to go like cattle. We were warned years ago, hell I remember this from 2006. www.prisonplanet.com...
Oh to be blissfully ignorant thinking it wouldn't happen ...

Still to be fair..It seem's they never took these down.



Talk about hiding stuff in plain sight.

I haven't enjoyed You Tube as much since they started including advertizements at the front of the vids. I realize they have to make a dollar somehow to pay for expenses. What might be better is to charge a small fee for each video that's put up and leave the advertisements off.
