Censorship from You Tube?

 

 

“In a frightening example of how the state is tightening its grip around the free Internet, it has emerged that You Tube is complying with thousands of requests from governments to censor and remove videos that show protests and other examples of citizens simply asserting their rights, while also deleting search terms by government mandate.”

“YouTube occasionally receives requests from governments around the world to remove content from our site, and as a result, YouTube may block specific content in order to comply with local laws in certain countries.”

“You can also search by country to discover that Google, the owner of You Tube, has complied with the majority of requests from governments, particularly in the United States and the UK, not only to remove You Tube videos, but also specific web search terms and thousands of “data requests,” meaning demands for information that would reveal the true identity of a You Tube user. Google claims that the information sent to governments is “needed for legitimate criminal investigations,” but whether these “data requests” have been backed up by warrants is not divulged by the company.”

 

The world is changing right before our eyes. We have lost our rights in The United States. The government was made to represent us, instead it is working against us. People voted for Obama for a change. Has the government truly changed. Yes it has but it has not changed in the matter of good. It has not changed to stick up for the American rights. The constitution doesn’t mean jack shit anymore. In fact is their anything in that document that has not been changed to benefit the government. Perhaps we are turning into Orwell's book 1984. It has gotten so bad if people stand up for themselves even in a non violent way they are being arrested.
