YouTube Wipes MEMRI TV Off The Map
YouTube has terminated the invaluable MEMRITV
channel for what it calls “repeated or severe violations of our Community
Guidelines and/or claims of copyright infringement.” And from the looks of
things, at the time of this post, MEMRI may not even be aware of it.
Which means some very important video footage
with translations from Arabic may not be spread as far and wide as they deserve
to be. And on a more micro level, a whole bunch of videos we have posted about – like our Jew-hating Jordanian buddy
here – no longer work.
From what I understand, MEMRI can
appeal the decision. The question of copyright infringement may come down to
“fair use”, which I believe to be the case. As for any other so-called
“violations” of YouTube’s Community Guidelines, I can only imagine they were
flagged as being “hate speech” by enemies of freedom, simply for shining a light
on the real youtubehate speech out
there. Which includes YouTube Channels of terrorist and hate organizations,
which are allowed to continue unabated.
I should note that this is not the first time this has happened, and every time, MEMRI TV has
been reinstated on YouTube.
What can we do? For a start, we can donate to
MEMRI, who are currently soliciting for donations as part of their end-of-year campaign. We can also spread the word about this
latest development, in the hope of putting pressure on YouTube to reinstate the
channel.
