YouTube Removes Christian Movie Trailer About Homosexuality ["Commercially deceptive content"]
Truth Revolt ^ | 7/6/15 | Trey Sanchez

Posted on 07/06/2015 6:24:12 PM PDT by markomalley

Evangelist Ray Comfort has many video clips on YouTube showcasing his trademark style of sharing the Gospel with strangers on the street. But Comfort's latest project, a scripted film about the biblical view of homosexuality titled Audacity, has been removed from YouTube because of violations.

Over 130,000 people have viewed the trailer, but anyone visiting today will see the following message displayed:

This video has been removed as a violation of YouTube's policy against spam, scams, and commercially deceptive content.

Comfort told The Blaze that he believes someone at YouTube did not like the content of the video and pulled it down. He said, "Watch the two-minute trailer and see if you can find spam, a scam or anything commercially deceptive."

A synopsis of the film appears online: "Audacity uses a unique approach to address a very sensitive subject in contemporary society. Regardless of your views on homosexuality, you’ll gain fresh insights and a new perspective." Comfort explained further:

The foundation for the gay argument is that homosexuals (like people of color) are born that way, and like someone’s race, should never be discriminated against. The trailer shows a number of people changing their minds about homosexuals being born that way because I asked them two simple questions. It’s pretty unnerving for the ‘I can’t help being gay argument,’ and so they decided to censor us. Or to put it another way, they discriminated against us because of our religion.

The Blaze received a statement from YouTube with a possible explanation of why it was taken down: "While we don’t comment on individual videos, YouTube does have strict spam and metadata policies. If a video is flagged by our community that violates these policies it is removed."

Now, the trailer is hosted at Vimeo. Watch below:

Good old Google.

Real champions of free speech. As long as they agree with what you have to say.

If a video is flagged by our community

that violates these policies it is removed.

Youtube does not have people making decisions. Stuff happens automatically if enough people flag it.

All you need is enough people to gang up on a video. Or some people with software that makes it look like a bunch of people are flagging it.

Kind of like the process for getting rid of middle-aged straight white guys who refuse to wear pink/purple on Thursday and won’t worship the Emperor’s new clothes.

It’s all about “perception”.

I watched the trailer. Now I have to see the movie that would get all these lesbians to say Ray Comfort made a good point - he really seems to have stumped the Dummies. Can’t wait to find out more.

YouTube lets its users decide what “commercially deceptive”? Sounds pretty specific to me.

Fascism has been here for a long time——we just didn’t realize that the MSM was censoring what we could and couldn’t see. From 1990, the media was NEVER allowed to be truthful about the vile bahaviors and sick lifestyle of homosexuals——because they would’’t have been able to sell it to all the children and make it normal and “good”.

Everything you were told about Harvey Milk and Matthew Shepard are LIES to make you “feel” sorry for homosexuals so they could cover-up their vile lifestyles, which were pure evil and dysfunctional.

The schools are the biggest agitprop machine because they can control the emotions your children have-—forcing them to hate Christians as bigot and MEAN——and Love sodomites (who are victims and “born that way” instead of telling the truth that it is a learned desire because of abuse and neglect by those who should love and nurture them. (Actually children should NEVER be told about this sick, evil use of the body....it is like telling them details of Mengele. They can’t handle such evil—it destroys normal identity formation.

Homosexuality is a LEARNED desire always by abuse or neglect in childhood and by being raped mostly-—as having same-sex experience being the first sexual experiences like with Chastity Bono who was raped by a lesbian at 11.

If ANYONE supports homosexuality-—they support child abuse. It is child abuse just to tell a 7 year old about the evil use of the human body-—it warps their Reality and posits evil ways to “see” others. The sexualization makes them see others as objects for lust-—and removes meaning and morality from the sex act.

You should understand that homosexuals are also actively trying to block access to Christian websites as well. For example, if you try to access a number of Presbyterian churches who are leaving the PCUSA because of homosexuality and same-sex marriage, you will find their websites are blocked for being “child unsafe.” I understand the way they can do this is to spam anti-virus websites in Eastern Europe and Russia with warnings that sites are unsafe, which warnings then get picked up by American spam and virus blockers.

I know, here I go defending YouTube and Google, BUT....

In the trailer, near the end it said, "Free Viewing AudacityMovie.Com" When I go to AudacityMovie.Com, I get a download link to watch the movie for $19.99. Could THIS be part of the issue? Did they make it easy for YouTube to take it down?
