Youtube needs to be forced to serve everyone who sits at their lunch counter.

What a brilliant way to frame this issue. Big Data is practicing a new form of Jim Crow.

Ironically, it was Democrats who perpetrated that discrimination the last time, too.

Sorry for the double post!

No problem. I think we've all accidentally selected full-auto-post a time or two ;-)

Goodbye Hickok45

And NutnFancy, Military Arms Channel, etcetera, because you know that YouTube won't just stop at censoring builder demonstrations.

The progressive libs who run that site won't be able to resist banning firearms related videos of every type.

they may be willing to sink themselves over political causes.

Why not? Left wing newspapers and television channels have been sacrificing their bottom lines for 'the cause' for some time now.

I’m going to be in a world of hurt as a guy with some tools that watches youtube to fix my cars if youtube ever realizes that more folks die in automobile wrecks than shootings.

And of course will miss watching gun reviews, etc.

Can you still point your finger and pretend it is a gun?

I have been looking at it for a month or two, (still considering joining) and it is not 'better' than youtube.

Thanks, oh well, I'll look for something else to replace YouTube. I've watched a lot of gun videos on YouTube, and their removal means my removal from using YouTube. Problem is, it is easily accessible from Internet-ready devices instead of only being accessible by computer browsers, and the easy access is going to be missed.

Soon the only things on YopuTube will be SJW, gender-something, and Islamic videos all other will be found harmful.

No, NOT a false headline.

The Breitbart article had a link to the original source, (anti-gun) Bloomberg (yeah, I know, I need a shower), which said:

“The new YouTube policies will be enforced starting in April, but at least two video bloggers have already been affected.”.

Spikes had everything on it channel taken down, but later restored...and then I just couldn’t read any further.

But the point is that it is a prospective policy, not one put into place immediately. Besides, there are millions of such videos on thousands of channels...and no one can act that quickly.

Oh, and I now officially despise YouTube, and will be looking for a replacement. I suggest that all gun owners do the same...they can ban gun videos if they want to - it is their property - but we can also show our displeasure by dropping them, and costing them money. I would also suggest that everyone who is angered or annoyed by this new policy contact their congressman, and demand that the company be broken up under the Sherman Antitrust Act, and ditto for Google and Facebook. That will really fix their wagons.

Even that, you might want to refrain from, especially if there are LEO around. You might get protected and served right into an early funeral home.
