"The video content site YouTube has flagged a new campaign ad by Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo, warning of its content and requiring viewers to verify they are 18 or older. The 30-second spot airing on Iowa cable stations this week links the country's illegal immigration problem to terrorism, depicting an attack on an American mall.
"There are consequences to open borders beyond the 20 million aliens who have come to take our jobs," the narrator says. "Islamic terrorists now freely roam U.S. soil. Jihadists, who froth with hate, here to do what they have in London, Spain, and Russia." ...
YouTube is trying to make sure young viewers don't have access to the ad. "This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube's user community," says its warning. "To view this video or group, please verify you are 18 or older by logging in or signing up."

Is there anyone else who thinks that if this was a critical progressive's ad which had been arbitrarily censored, we would now be hearing that Google's effect was so outsized, that it was a 'utility', and should be subject to government control, and monitoring?
ReplyDeleteI just pulled G*ogle off my search engine list. - Again.
ReplyDeleteI refused to use it for several years when they were caught censoring Conservative blogs. I let it creep back onto my PC six months ago - thinking it wasn't dong much of that anymore.
Not.
