Military Arms Channel shut down by YouTube now offline

[PeterD]

Not sure where to put this. YouTube shut down Military Arms Channel over the weekend, so no one would be in the office to take any complaints.

MAC seems to work at making them mad.

These YouTubers love making $$$ off of YouTube till they cross the Corp policies or ruffle liberal feathers and find themselves blocked unfunded or deleted.
What do you expect from a Liberal Company in a Liberally corrupt state with Yuppy kids eating tide pods and crying from losing Bernie?

The 1st Amendment is as meaningless to google/Facebook/Twitter as the 2nd. I'm sure there are quite a few fellow infowarriors in the horde, but I'll take the opportunity to give Alex Jones a gratuitous plug https://www.infowars.com

The 1st Amendment does not apply, contractually. We all agree to abide by their rules as we do on various social media, including this forum.

But antitrust laws do. Unfortunately, Jeff Sessions heard that someone smelled someone smoking weed in SE Oklahoma on Friday night, so that's going to keep him occupied for at least 2 weeks.

The 1st Amendment does not apply, contractually.

According to Robert Kyncl, Chief Business Officer at Youtube, freedom of speech is a core value:

- Freedom of Opportunity
- Freedom of Speech
- Freedom of Information, and
- Freedom to Belong

"I grew up in Communist country, Czechoslovakia, behind the Iron Curtain. It's really important, you know, the openness, the freedom of speech, the freedom of information is really important and that is why I love what I do."

A businessman that says one thing a does another! Next you're going to tell me that polititians lie!

YouTube shut down Military Arms Channel over the weekend...

False. MAC shut down on its own initiative.

[PeterD]

That's a semantics argument with the same net result as it came out that he had one more violation left to be received before an automatic ban from the platform took place. There will be no MAC channel until he feels safe enough to post videos again without being permanently banned.

[StoneHendge]

Rumour has it that David Hogg thought it should be banned. And we all know you can't fight David Hogg.

[stanc]

That's a semantics argument...

Also false. It's neither semantics nor an argument. It's a statement of fact: YouTube did not shut down the MAC channel.

[biodsl]

He's back up.

[sneaky one]

This has gotten out of hand. Let's all of us get back to daily reality. Let it come to fruition-- the facts.

Be that as it may, the point was that this is NOT a 1st Amendment issue. YouTube and this forum are not the government. There are rules. Also as noted, YouTube didn't shut down MAC. Maybe you noticed that MAC's message was brought to you on Youtube?

And now he is back up.

It is getting to be a regular crisis with MAC, it would seem.
