“I believe You Tube’s system is complaint driven. If nobody complains, the video stays up.”
After 18+ months of the FR YouTube Smackdown project - what we “know” - for a fact - is that YouTube does what they pretty much damn well please including ignoring complaints, daily (not weekly/monthly/haphazardly, but daily) flagging, their own worthless terms of use, and, the law.

I hope this has a web site all of its own... I would not trust a critique of You Tube to stay up on You Tube. Neither have I heard squat about any Smackdown Project; it ought to be better known here on FR (which is why the shout out to Jim Rob).
Are the troublesome videos narrated in Arabic? This might be a problem for English speaking moderators.
