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
This is how Hitler started, very scary.
Been going on long before, and after, Hitler.
Was he repeatedly using copyrighted material? (As is suggested in the comments section.)
I don’t know that I’ve ever heard of the guy, but he uses a pretty sorry analogy, saying Google’s terms state that they can close your channel for any reason—which would be like an employer saying he can fire you for any reason.
Well, hello—in a free society an employer could fire an
‘employee at will’ for any reason, just like that employee could quit for any reason.
Decentralization is here, the Stacks will go the way of the dinosaur!

If she’s so purportedly in favor of free speech, why we’re no American journalists allowed on her trip? Hypocrisy abounds among leftists.
The 2014 election season is underway in full Chicago/Venezuela mode.
Looks like his petitions worked. /s
More censorship from the left.
Well, Hitler had a really good reason for shutting down Youtube -- he was sick of all the Downfall parodies.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The internet is deaf. Once the UN controls it only those with political connections that are compliant with sharia, environmentalism, and thr gaystapo will be allowed to thrive.
And here I was thinking Hugo Chavez had kicked the bucket. :O
Irony: In one of Dice’s excellent episodes, he got people to sign his petition to repeal the First Amendment “to silence criticism of Obama.”
No need to repeal it, it’s already dead.
LOLOL.
Get ready folks...protestations to Obama will NOT be allowed. Dear Reader and all that.
The tech giants bow their knees to this regime.
It's also no secret how corrupt they are.
They recently got the contract to run Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View, largely so they can have their own private airport in the middle of the Santa Clara valley, something no one else gets to use.
Senator Grassley tried to stop them but he's a lonely voice.
Undoubtedly they do things the administration asks them to on the back channel to enjoy special perks like this at the expense of the taxpayers.
Tell Mark there's always Vimeo.
You are correct. They have cancelled many conservative’s accounts for a year or more.
