YouTube Caught in the Act...AGAIN!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZUv7gXL ... =rec-fresh


YouTube caught red-handed censoring videos. YouTube uses a wide array of sneaky techniques to stop certain videos from reaching the front pages and gaining more exposure. In this instance (which is just one of many), YouTube blocks the View Counter so that the video doesn't appear in the most-viewed lists. I have personally experienced this myself with many of my videos. This is how it works: On all videos, the "RATINGS" and "FAVORITES" counters are updated in near real-time. So if you rate a video, then check back a few minutes later, you'll see that your rating was indeed added to the total. It's the same for the Favorites counter and the "CHANNEL VIEWS" counter. But when it comes to the video view counter that is displayed below each video, this counter only gets updated between 1 and 4 times daily. Why doesn't the video view counter get updated in real-time like the rest of the counters? There's only ONE reason. YouTube does this because it gives them the opportunity to fiddle the viewing figures on any videos that it doesn't want to see in the most-viewed lists. When you upload a video and examine the view counter, you'll see that the number of views does indeed update in real-time, but as soon as that number reaches about 200 or so, the counter freezes and it will not update again for 12 or even 24 hours. So, if you upload a video that's really popular (but YouTube doesn't like it), and it gets 100,000 views in the first 24 hours, YouTube will simply freeze the counter and not update it for a day. And when they do eventually update the counter, you'll find that it only goes up by a few hundred, or maybe a thousand if you're lucky -- even though your video has received many thousands of ratings and comments. This sneaky method of censorship is so crude and it does YouTube's reputation no good whatsoever. If they want to resort to such pathetic and obvious tactics to censor free-speech then why don't they openly admit to it in their terms of use? What does this say about the people who run YouTube? Think about it. They don't even allow you to email them anymore, and even when you could email them, you'd be lucky to get back an automated pre-written reply. How come nobody at YouTube has the guts to put themselves on camera and talk to their users? What kind of dark shaddowy people are they to hide behind the façade of a web server while imposing their fascist censorship on us? YouTube was made famous by the people who use it. It is US that made YouTube what it is today. But YouTube has gone downhill since the big Fascist-CIA-Google muscled their way into the YouTube boardroom.

This is an emergency bulletin from AdvocacyCorporation. I have re-posted it here so so that we can inform as many people as possible about what YouTube is doing. It explains why many truth channels are being suspended by YouTube for no apparent reason. YouTube as a company is being FORCED and PRESSURED by the federal government to impose this censorship. YouTube's Mass Censorship (S1959) This is an emergency bulletin from AdvocacyCorporation. I have re-posted it here so so that we can inform as many people as possible about what YouTube is doing. It explains why many truth channels are being suspended by YouTube for no apparent reason. YouTube as a company is being FORCED and PRESSURED by the federal government to impose this censorship.

Please spread this video around. Upload it to your channel, send it to all your YouTube friends, add it to your favorites, do whatever you can to let people know about this. On the other hand, if you dont care about this subject, and you're happy for YouTube to contain only crappy brain-dead videos showing things like a cat riding a skateboard, or some girl wiggling her butt in front of her webcam, then do nothing.

USA180 - Emergency Bulletin:

YouTube Makes Sen. Lieberman Happy With New Anti-Terrorism Guidelines

http://www.efluxmedia.com/news_YouTube_ ... 24367.html

Listen up people, they are implementing parts of S1959 - The Homegrown Terrorism Act - It HAS NOT PASSED THE SENATE. The language is the same. It's "Force or Violence" to promote a religious, social or political belief. Under this law if you stop someone on the street and hand them a Bible you can be considered a TERRORIST. If you advocate action against a corporation or the government you can be considered a TERRORIST.

If we don't stop this here at YouTube and raise a HUGE CONCERN right now - they will pass S1959. They will rationalize that we will ACCEPT the censorship and go further. While the request of Senator Lieberman SEEMS reasonable the bill itself has so many holes that you could interpret it MANY different ways. There are videos on this - I suggest you watch them or go to http://www.USA180.org and look at our analysis of the bill itself. We have to act NOW and get this message EVERYWHERE. Create your own video. ACT!

Quoting article:

"In May this year, Sen. Joseph Lieberman demanded YouTube to block videos depicting assassinations, death of US soldiers, as well as weapon training and speeches that encourage violence and could be used as a tool to create homegrown terrorists."

Best thing to do if you do not like what youtube is doing is to start your own web site similar to theirs and do it yourself. They own it and will do what they will.

Thanks for keeping us informed about this!

People tried doing this with eBay and all these "little" auction sites popped up. A lot of those selling on eBay flocked to these sites and didn't sell a thing.
Like eBay, YouTube has the traffic AND the power.

If those small sites were wise, they would consolidate and empower themselves. They need to join forces and develop an auction program that will work simultaneously with all of their sites. That would outdo ebay at any time.

If someone wanted to pay me, I could move them in the ranks of the search engines whether it be an auction site or youtube like site. SEO is one of my specialties.
