Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?

After all the trouble Free Republic has had with disruptors you use this site as a platform to disrupt Youtube and advise viewers not to even watch the videos you flag for removal?

What next? Licenses to inspect captured German Documents stored in the National Archives?

Apologies in advance, I think this is crazy. Yes, I do.

Providing services to terrorists violates executive orders 12947 and 13224.

That includes any free services and each violation is subject to a fine upto $250,000 USD. The governmental agency reponsible for enforcement is the Office of foreign Asset Control in the US treasury and it is very understaffed. You can file your suspected violations at: http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/contacts.shtml

However, Our efforts here are actually within the Youtube guidelines. (http://www.youtube.com/t/community_guidelines?hl=en_US) and we do not encourage anyone to violate thse guidelines.

All we are doing is helping Youtube to enforce its own rules and to keep them form possibly getting massive fines since the fines could be filed for EACH video uploaded that is in violation of those above mentioned Executive Orders.

Ok.

They are BREAKING THE LAW by hosting terrorist propaganda videos.

And no one said you have to participate. Move along people - nothing to see here.

There may have been one or two others, I really can't recall but with the number of posters at FR as well as the owner and Mods it should give you a hint you just may be mistaken.

"as a platform to disrupt Youtube and advise viewers not to even watch the videos you flag for removal? "

I meant to address this as well, but forgot. First of all, we are not "disrupting" YouTube. We are following THEIR guidelines for flagging offensive material. And as to the not watching - that is the choice of the person flagging. I personally watch the videos I flag. It keeps me permanently pi$$ed off at the enemy. However, there are those who would like to help with this effort, but they don't want to actually see the violence that's in the video. All we were doing was informing them that they could still help, but they don't have to view violent material to do so. If you want to watch them, by all means, do so. Did you click on the link to the playlist of videos to flag today? You might want to do so before you make snap judgements about what we are doing. Thanks.

There is not a real difference between Nazis and muslim extremists. None at all. They both elevate a state to the status of a religion or a religion to the status of a state. Anyone who differs with them is demonized and threatenede in a number of ways. They influence the lives of people to the nth degree in terms of their thinking and how they dress, what they are allowed to do and who they show respect to. Wait a minute, this is applicable to the liberals more and more with every passing year.

Even a free society has the right to defend itself from its enemies. These videos, as I understand it, are recruiting tools for our enemies.

So, I cheerfully help smack them down, without worrying about the sensibilities of a handful of Americans who are keeping their minds so wide open that they run the risk of falling right in.
