umoron

You didn't "wait for google's answer" before attacking them and asserting your own theories.

The rest of your comment tells me all I need to know about you and the type of blog you're running. Have a good day.

YouTube is a huge repository of videos, it's impossible to apply all the TOS rules all the time and instantly. They often flag videos for copyright infringement "years" after being submitted, and other stuff like judging if a video might violate other parts of the TOS might require human judgment which would take even longer.

Also why does YouTube even have to "stand" with anyone one here?! they are running a website, that doesn't mean everything they do must have a political agenda. Also why would they have to be collaborating with any government? as with the incident I linked to in my previous comment shows they don't' take orders from governments and won't remove legal materials. Have it even crossed your mind that someone who wanted these videos gone may have abused YouTube's flagging system? it won't be the first time.

All that speaks to your shoddy reporting.

No. And publications don't earn credibility by publishing no-research conspiracy link-bait.

That is a ridiculous piece of bad reporting. First there is no evidence for this, no dead links or pointing out previous submissions and whatnot. Then they go about regurgitating every conspiracy scenario nonsense, even invoking the dreaded "NSA" only to passingly mention at the end that they might go about verifying the whole thing!!

If they were in fact deleted and they were deleted for political reasons why did it take so long? and if in fact they were removed wouldn't the fact that gore violates YouTube TOS be a more logical explanation?

YouTube have refused to remove videos against government pressure before: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/14/us-protests-google...
