YouTube Deplatforms Retired Navy SEAL Who Exposed Tribal Elder Nathan Phillips' Stolen Valor
PJ Media ^ | 02/26/2019 | Debra Heine

Posted on 02/26/2019 4:55:59 PM PST by TexasGurl24

YouTube last week deplatformed a YouTube channel that specialized in exposing Stolen Valor cases. "Stolen Valor," of course, refers to cases where dishonorable pretenders are caught making fraudulent claims of military honors they didn't earn. Retired Navy Seal Don Shipley has made it his life's mission to expose these shameless charlatans. His channel had 232,806 subscribers at the time it was taken down and had been in operation since around 2008.

He told PJ Media that he thinks his channel was taken down because he had "outed Nathan Phillips," who had "masqueraded as a Vietnam Vet."

Yeah but they do absolutely nothing to promote the video nor does their search engine do anything to even list it. There are countless videos on there that have been on there for years with not so much as two views. It’s a video storage site that is scamming people. He’s creating content for a website he does not own and they take a percentage of the ad revenue HE is creating by the audience HE has personally acquired when he could be making a greater percentage of the ad revenue on his own site. I tell Mark Dice this all the time. He has about 2 million followers. Why is he directing them to Youtube when he can direct them to his own website and make a hell of a lot more?

I saw that the day it came out, and I sure as Hell didn’t see a problem with it.

That scumbag fake “Tribal Elder” and stolen valor SOB Nathan Philips should rot in a slit trench of excrement.

No it isn’t a private business. If a university, State, Municipality, or organization takes a PENNY of Federal cash, they are subject to ALL Federal regulations.

Youtube (google) was funded by the US Government at the beginning from the CIA venture capital tech group, and has numerous Federal contracts for all kinds of information services.

Additionally, YouTube/Google is free from content litigation because they are seen as an open medium, not as a publisher. If ISIS beheads your grandma, you cannot sue YouTube for leaving ISIS videos up. But in reality, they are a content publisher and should lose all that protected status.

So no sport, Google/YouTube is not a private company. They have their mouth firmly clamped to the government nipple. If the renounce all federal contracts, and give up status as an open medium, then they can ban whoever they want.

This is YouTube, not Facebook. You should take it up with Susan Wojcicki.

E.T. Wiliams went that route and created his own private website after YouTube banned him in 2016. Ten bucks a month to see his videos so he has money to pay for the host.

Yeah I recall seeing the guy before but he was not the guy who was claiming Bush and maybe McCain were murdered by the deep state. I don’t recall who it was but some other lady who follows QANON, Liz Crokin, said the same thing as well.

Now I can’t recall if the theory was they were killed for being traitors or killed for finding out damming information and killed before they could speak.

Gavin returned to YouTube and returned to Rebel Media. Loomer is still protesting and she was recently will illgelas at Pelosi’s estate until security forced her out or were arresting her so she left. Milo has a site but went bankrupt. Alex Jones is getting more users to his site than ever but he has a lot of expenses. That is another story since they went after companies who helped fund him and run the site.

“I don’t see a problem, do you guys????”

Yes. Huge problem. The channel you linked to is not his channel. It is someone else who merely copied his content.

channel name: California Delta
43 subscribers
1575 views

YouTube is protected from any liability much like FR is, but YouTube encourages the complete theft of intellectual property because they make money off of it and have zero liability.

When people work to build a following on a social media platform and are subsequently demonetized for nothing more than being politically conservative, it is the most extreme abuse of power by these giant multi-national corporations.

A day of reckoning is coming.

Hey Col. Bat Guano— make sure you stay away from anyone with an English accent named Mandrake—— cause “your gonna have to answer to the Coca Cola Company......” Heh— great tag name!!

btw- it was youtub..... so it was goggle not pussy boy Zuck the Puck, but... they all talk. Encouraging everyone I know to sign up for Don’s website... support it.
The guy, and his no holds barred wife— are down in the trenches defending our warrior veterans... from any service- but especially SEALs. There was one a@@ clown he was “outing” on the phone, and the fool said “sure call him up” and Don direct dialed Marcus Luttrell (”Lone Survivor”) who ripped the guy who claimed he “trained” Marcus-— ripped him a new a@@hole to the point- he said— ever see you in person, will beat you to a pulp... It was..justice.

It is part of a publicly owned firm

Please share your data on the initial funding and agency involvement.

You are asking for more Government involvement in the economy?

Funny how small government types squeal and get butthurt when its not their way.

Why don’t you call AOC, she can help you.....lol

I am confident Don will do what all Team guys do.... adapt, overcome and prevail.

I highly doubt he is crying and whining about his circumstances.

Stop whining about it, start doing.

Youtube is a private business? Do you write for National Review? This is straight out of Alinsky’s rules for radicals: Hold your opponents to their standards (while you bash their heads in.)

But obviously you can’t see that up there on your doctrinaire high horse. “lol”.

Not really as you explain it...

YouTube is part of Google which in turn is owned by Alphabet Inc, which is a publicly traded company.

There is a contract signed when u post on YouTube... they own the content you post and they can do what they want with it.. including deleting it. Same with your channel. You essentially sign away all rights to “your” content.

The point is don’t post on YouTube... or expect good things from Google. Yeah they suck.
