Unreal. This is outrageous that government has been given this power.
Check it out:
A major anti-Obama YouTube channel with 55 million views was shut down yesterday just days after a new policy went into effect handing governments the power to flag “extremist” content on the video sharing website.
Media commentator and activist Mark Dice, whose channel had 55 million views and 265,000 subscribers, had his account suspended yesterday for what YouTube described as “severe terms of service violations”. The channel was not deleted due to copyright issues.
The most popular videos on Dice’s channel lambasted supporters of Barack Obama. Dice had built up a reputation for his ‘man on the street’ videos which featured him getting Obama supporters to sign petitions that called for a number of insane proposals, like putting gun owners in concentration camps, killing newborn babies, repealing the first amendment to silence criticism of Obama, and granting Obama immunity from all crimes.

Dear @YouTube @YTCreators so I had this popular channel....55 million views, 265,000 subs, 3-5 million views a month...and you deleted it. 11:49 AM - 23 Mar 2014
If the new Shield law passes they’ll be able to shut down citizen journalists. Shut down people like us. The law is attempting to limit free speech rights to ONLY cover state accepted journalists. It’s going to be a horror.
Vimeo is about the only thing I’ve seen and it’s way behind.
Zactly!
Best to stay away.
I'll bet jihadists continue to use Google's YouTube without ban hammers coming down on them.
It ain't Youtube it's Google.........
since Google took over, I haven't been able to post comments even after I created a Google + account...........And when I search out answers, I get led to the Google+ answer site which then locks up my computer .........
Google has screwed up royally...........
Thanks.
So, you only believe in defending the free speech of those you agree with.
It isn’t Youtube any more. It’s Themtube.
YEEHAW
Don’t forget all of the taxpayer subsidized aviation fuel they got from NASA.
That too...it’s disgusting.
I really can’t recall getting an avgas discount in 35 years of flying.
Much less a few bazillion gallons for a private 757.
Mark Dice has his YT account back.

“Sounds like a situation where Anonymous will probably enter the scene soon. I know the feds cracked the identities of some of their members a little while back but they are such a loosely organized collaborration that they will resurface again when the time or cause is right.”
I agree Hot Tobasco.
