YouTube Removing Gun Videos in 30 days
Full30 Facebook page ^ | 3-19-2018 | Full30

Posted on 03/20/2018 8:53:46 AM PDT by JamesP81

I received an email from my Google/YouTube rep at 9:30pm tonight. He requested an emergency meeting tomorrow to discuss YouTube's new policies regarding firearms content.

This is really bad. Please read this carefully and a couple of times, and let it sink in. 1/3rd of my videos or more will need to be removed. If you don't have them removed in 30 days, your channel will be deleted for policy violations.

I wish this were a joke. It's not. I feel horrible for reloading channels or NFA channels. Showing how to make ammo or even showing the installation of a silencer is prohibited. Hell, showing the use of a magazine larger than 30 rounds is prohibited! Belt feds are a no go.

I'll try to find out as much as I can from my rep tomorrow. I mean, are legal machine guns and silencers being demonstrated really going to get us account strikes now?

Please read this guys... I'm in shock, but then I knew this day wold come. It looks like it's here in 30 days. I'm at a total loss for words. ~Tim

The jaws are closing on the trap. We are steadily losing the battle in social media, and we have got to find a way to push back that includes something than 'durr, Facebook is stoopid.' It is stupid, I know, but it's also not going anywhere.

We need a competitor that believes in free speech and expression to displace youtube, basically.

There needs to be an alternative to Google controlled Youtube.

I wonder if the NRA would host videos.

It’s their site.

You use it at their discretion and according to their rules.

There will be others.......................

Ten bucks a head from about half of the remaining freedom-loving folks in the U.S. might do it. The problem is getting the word out. You know they won't tout it on ABCNNBCBS, NPR, NYT, LAT, WAPO, etc.

For the next 30 days, everyone should swamp Youtube with max number of videos added with soon to be banned material.

Also, maximize the number of views of each other’s videos.

Show videos of friendly dogs, cats and horses with guns.
Publish war videos. Publish videos of Black Panthers defending themselves.

Make a statement.

Leftist YouTube has been heading towards shutting down gun channels for well over a year. We should expect Leftist YouTube to similarly go after ANYTHING that is outside their approved groupthink. Conservative channels, Christian channels, Pro-Life channels, etc. should be concerned.

As for me, about 90% of what I watch on YouTube is gun channels. Meaning, I’m about to not need YouTube anymore. Hope a wise business person sees an opportunity here and goes for it.

So what? You Tube will lose revenue and the videos will still be circulated by many workarounds.

Operation Boot the Right Off the Internet is in full swing.

Trump had better react to it, and fast.

Things that can be done:

1) Post stills of the Black Panthers with weapons at the polling places.

2) sell FB stock, if you have any

3) go to dtube
