Viacom vs. Islam

It's been a while since I've posted. I've been so busy with my new job. But, I just couldn't remain silent about Viacom vs. Islam. Here's the original video from thunderf00t:

The JREF YouTube Channel is back

It's good to know that it wasn't a censorship issue but an inadvertent copyright issue instead. I still think that suspending the whole channel for one offending video is overkill. In the past I've had videos that used copyrighted music by mistake and YouTube contacted me and allowed me to change the music content or remove the video. But... they didn't yank my whole channel. So I'm not sure what was going on here. Anyway, he's back...

JREF Banned From YouTube

As you may be aware of, YouTube has recently been suspending the accounts of atheist commentators when they criticize religion, especially Christianity and Islam. But now they've gone too far... they've banned the account of the venerable and highly respected James Randi Educational Foundation.



James Randi is one of the most respected voices in the skeptical, scientific, rational world. He's appeared in more documentary's than I can count. It's just ludicrous that YouTube has become the self appointed guardians of religious sensibilities on the internet. All of us that believe in free speech need to let them know how we feel.
