  • "obviously false opinions"? You mean like, Christianity? That 9/11 was done without bombs? Creationism? Scientology? That the U.S. government is benevolent towards other countries? That "legalizing marijuana is not a good strategy to fix the economy" (quote from Obama)? Clearly, "obviously false opinions are allowed.

  • I'm not some "innocent" little victim but I do get sick and tired of being slammed for my STRONG opinons on certain TV shows. Shows that I generally like and have said so! I'll say I like this episode or that character but when I start pointing out some very stupid storylines or stating how ugly a character is I get slammed and accused of being a TROLL! PLEASE! I do NOT post things in order to get a "rise" out of anyone! I post things to share how I feel! The way some of the posters react one

  • @sallyjosie would think that they had some sort of vested interest in the various shows (either financially or emotionally). That or they really are a die-hard fan who needs to get a life! I don't mind when others disagree with me it when they are abusive that gets me upset! And I am a bit argumentive by nature which why I used to respond to their comments! Now If someone starts trying to scare me away I just ignore them and go on posting my comments! And I also block the bullies!

  • Freedom of expression?

    You are kidding right? You censor and filter comments, the automated DMCA tools are used by religious extremists to censor and delete or close channels and people can using an automated system obtain people private informations in total anonymity.

    Youtube fails on so many counts it abysmal. You have not provided any means for users to bring issues even legal ones to your attention and all you can do it post videos like this on a channel that is censored and filtered. lol

  • Was that really necessary? Please make the realisation that other people in other parts of the world have the same rights and freedom of speach as you do but just to think,hold our tongue and not make ourselves look like complete morons. So sir i suggest to you to take sit in the corner and think about what you've done wrong,ok?

  • Google Stop lying to the world!

  • why would he create a youtube account to celebrate freedom of expression? i just had a video deleted because it showed a bible being burnt. IT WAS A SCHOOL PROJECT FOR FAHRENHEIT 451! and it was legit 3 seconds.. man i hate youtube, yet it has almost a monopoly on internet videos.

  • There has been documented cases where Youtube users abuse the copyright claims for their own purposes instead of actual claims (see the VenomfangX incidence for an example of this).  Is there any way to fix such problems to ensure the continuation of the "free expression" here on Youtube?

  • i want a 1.0 channel so i may freely express myself. if you care prove it by giving me a 1.0 channel.

  • Free Expression? like in google china? yeah....

  • Please work on your grammar and spelling, reading comments multiple times just to understand what the message the poster was saying is frustrating.

    Query: How can someone who isn't from America and has never been there be illegally in America?

  • @REd2492 mate, i'm pretty sure he's retarded. *shakes head * :(

  • Comment removed

  • yawn

  • not you again. yawn.

  • hmmm... so you think that the only just action against genocide is genocide... well at least we know somebody has the betterment of mankind at heart. And no, behavior is not the undeniable symptom of savage barbarians. it is the actions and thoughts that an organism conducts. If you take a moment to calm down, you will realize the absurdity of your claims. white race is pure evil? how can you object to the history of violence the human race has if you are so willing to perpetuate it?

  • "race" is a social constraint invented by colonial Europeans to assert their "superiority" over other peoples. It actually seems that you are the the one in "OLDE TECHNOLOGY" (ps i'm super impressed at your ability to capitalize letters, fantastic) as you continually refer to the concept of a 'white race'

  • alright, so if you want to be specific, everybody but a select few people in central Africa are immigrants. now where are you getting illegal? what law system are you following?

    also, to address your above comment, no i don't classify people into races because it simply isn't scientifically correct.

  • wow try to leave a comment on the channel"s main page

    THEY ARE CENSORING THE COMMENTS ON THEIR "FREE EXPRESSION" CHANNEL?!?!

    is this a joke or is it Orwellian double speak?

  • How fucking ironic! This HAS to be a joke.

  • the thing is, race isn't a scientific way of classifying people. you and i are 99.9999% the same genetically. This is regardless no matter what your skin colour is. also, in what way does killing "evil whitey" make you any better? you will only start a cycle of violence that nobody will win.

    P.S. everybody in the western hemisphere is an immigrant.

    EVERYBODY

  • LOL. Get help.

  • 1. really buddy... stop with the capitalizing. we know you are upset.

    2. Grow the flying fuck up. racism and hate crimes spread because of idiots like you.

  • Really, seek help.

    You are now just SAD and boring.

  • Again seek help. You are now just , SAD.

  • Here's a big of 'free expression', mein klein Deutche freund:

    F***en sie, dein scheisse schweinhund!

  • klasse. :-)

  • Funny how they have allowed comments on here now, isn't it?

    These fascist pigs are a JOKE.

    They have closed down LOADS of people I know, not for racism, copyright or sexual content but for raising important political points.

    YouTube is being run by/dictated to by government goons.

    Free speech?

    What a load of CRAP!!!!!!!

  • don't mince words, when you mean you support free expression in countries that permit it, say so. Don't throw out "worldwide free expression" when you know it's not true. Free expression is important to Google, but only after profit margin and pervasiveness.

  • he looks like a clone lol

  • LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES

  • kerblamowz- I entirely agree , you tube this is mocking us .... you filter out all the free thinking clips so dont pretend to be pro freedom of expression.

  • dude, not everybody who argues with you is kkk, or even white.  you aren't a victim

  • fail.

  • hey heres some freedom of speech

    youtube != freedom of speech

  • Fuck Youtube now its all about Money from Partners what happened to the General Youtubers ... We are ones that made Youtube what it is not some crappy partners

  • The scary thing is so many in America and the world don't WANT Freedom of Expression;they're so certain they're on "the right side" of an issue or "more progressive",they think of the other side as evil ,and believe they deserve to be shut up. "Shut down Fox,punish Rush for being a social conservative,;Mediamatters has a Youtube telling CNN to drop Lou Dobbs; from the Right,you had College professor Churchill being pressured to resign,Ayersbeing denied permission to speak at BC,etc..;

  • It's simply FASCISM.

    It is everywhere you look and mainly instigated by the political left.

    A very dangerous world we all live in.

  • Well,it's like the privacy issue;once upon a time the fear was that we 'd lose privacy to Big Government;but we lose as much more privacy now to private hackers.

  • Left, Right. No Difference.

    Just away to seperate the masses.

    The program is the same..dispite Bush, Clint, Bushjr, Obama. etc

  • Aside from what everyone else has contributed to the discussion of Google's/YouTube's ideals, and I can see truth in all opinions, there is only one more thing left to say: GET OUT, GET TO THE CHOPPER, get your ass to Mars.

  • I (we) Want:

    Choice Between the old and new channels.

    No Copyrights Claims.

  • I'd back that.

  • Youtube and free expression? Ahaha.

    Thanks for deleting many videos and being a corporate bitch, Youtube.

    Can't believe you were comparing the destruction of the Berlin wall to Youtube on the front page.

  • Seek HELP.

    and learn how to operate a key board.

  • Another BRAINDEAD name caller, who can not operate a key board.

    Get a life and an EDUCATION.

    and SEEK HELP.

  • Your caps lock seems to be stuck, AGAIN.

  • LOL. The IRONY is just to rich. Google/Youtube and Freedom of Speech. One HELPS governments censor and spy on its own citizens, while the other now WELL KNOWN for censoring videos. The now Defence Intelligence Community member, couldn't give a flying fu%k about freedom of speech or human rights. Typical 20 th century PROPAGANDA. The hypocrital Insanity continues.

  • yeah i almost pooped my pants when i saw this

  • The Orwellian State is here.

    Where is opposite is true.

    Black is white, and vis versa. Communications companies censor and spy while claiming "Freedom of Expression."

    UK/Amerikorp Kills and Slaughters for Peace. (like fu$%ing for virginity) The New "Expand the Wars" President, who is now fully engaged in Pakistan, wins a Noble Prize for PEACE. THAT was INSANE. The Governments are experimenting and killing its citizens "for their safety" We are truely living in an Orwellian World.

  • Well I would continue to try to explain just how much of a moron you are, but it seems that you have done all the work for me.

    Best of luck with exterminating the "evil white race."

  • Wow, you sir are a dumb SoB.

    Keep trolling youtube though, I'm sure you will bring success to your causes, hahaha.

  • If your talking about evilcolon... I agree.

  • Stop manipulating search results and deleting videos in your own favour (e.g. Thunderf00t's "Youtube vs the users" series), and maybe choose a country with REAL freedom of expression. One that doesn't put people on trial for denying the holocaust.

  • Well said. Years ago I was shocked too learn the Germans throw your ass in jail for even questioning the numbers.

  • Ahh, racist conspiracy theorist dumbasses. It is amazing how you lump together everything bad in the world you can think of and blame it on one group or another.

    You have no idea how to rally support for the causes you apparently have gleaned as important.

    The world is much more nuanced than you apparently understand.

  • No one loves free expression more than I do, but in consideration of the fact that Google probably would have worked with Eastern Germany to sensor content in order to take part in its market (China anyone?), I find this video highly ironic.

  • Your "Caps Lock" key appears to be stuck.

  • I don't fucking understand you. Learn to communicate.

  • "How have you or someone you know used the internet to exercise your rights and to promote free expression?"

    Well I use it alot, but go figure, people in China can't read it. Why is that Google?

    Ohh, and if you're so interested in our "rights" to free expression you might want to look into the votebots and false flagging a little more carefully.

    Otherwise, take your PR bull and shove it.

  • Free speech, eh? Which is why you take down loads of accounts due to votebots and false flagging (eg, lots of atheist accounts and evolutionary accounts by creationists), and also videos like Pat Condell's?

  • Haha what the fuck does Google/YouTube know about free expression? You fuckers haven't had much of a problem unjustly resetting view counts and outright banning user profiles when it's (in)convenient for you. Your "championing" of free speech is laughable, and applies only to narcissistic vloggers and dickheads filming themselves watching snuff movies. Anything of substance, or anything controversial, is filed under something other than "free expression". Memory Hole springs to mind. Hypocrites.

  • wat

  • uigk

  • well, clearly, you are insane and unable of thinking straight, - it is still the white race that rules the world, so you can't punish it, and if that rule changed and you started to exterminate the white race, than my argument is right - it's not the racial issue; humans are overall fucked up and are guilty of murder and hatred regardless the race; you wanna punish the white race - be my guest; you are just proving me right. But anyway, you are a stupid idiot, go check yourself in.

  • math logs see free speech as heard when few use it but when alot use it it becomes noise.unheard in the 1000s of vids blogs. the ? isnt what it means but how to do it

  • it seems a paradox that we all want democracy and free expression but when we all speak ,it is like noise.

  • What you are writing here is hardly considered as civil,

    you want to blame white race for everything bad that's happening, but again - it's not a race issue, it's an issue of human nature; it is part of our nature to kill and dominate and be hungry for power, - blacks are doing that in africa, arabs are doing that in middle east, latinos are doing that in Latin America, and white people are doing that all over the world. People will do anything ANYTHING, murder, lie -and it's not race related

  • What does Free Expression mean to me?

    It means that I have the right to say "YOU'RE SCREWING THE SITE OVER WITH ALL THIS NEW SHIT", but since you can't punish me legally you can punish us all by not listening.

  • the comment from murcia spain murciapedia is very different. so many people have the right of free speech but dont speak the language. imagine a newly escaped refugee in ny who speaks an african dialect.

  • I too am bothered that Google would give in to China's censorship laws, apparently for profit.

    I know it is difficult because Google did not create the laws and China has a huge population. But I think that this is also exactly the kind of situation where Google's slogan of "do no evil" should stand tall and make a decisive moral decision that is better in the long run even though it may not be the most profitable in the short term in a business situation.

  • You've truly hit on the current corporate moral dilemma.

    Google has two options:

    -Maximize their user loyalty, future profits and goodwill by letting their slogan stand, which has a dubious profit when concerning current corporate practice.

    -Maximize short-term shareholder profit, which is their legal responsibility as per their corporate charter.

    I eagerly await Google's decision, hoping that they may be a scion of a new generation of conscientious corporate businesses.

  • It's pretty ironic that this guy works

    1.)for Google (who delete many youtube videos, even if they just say something bad about Google/Youtube in them)

    2.)in Germany (where the government has the right to censor as many sites as they want, even without public knowledge)

    And this guy talks about free expression...

  • bravo

  • Google believes in free expression my ass.

  • I am atheist, don't believe that Jesus was son of god,

    White race IS responsible for many horrible crimes, - no argument here, but I'm not a racist, so I think it is not an issue of race - it is an issue of rotten human nature, any race would do the same if it had power. I believe that we are all moving towards enlightenment and the crimes of the past will be eliminated from our reality and we all will see a day where we live in peace and harmony.

  • Stop the False Flag of videos abuse and suspensions and stop giving in to government censorship policies (China, but which country is *next*?) and then users might actually respect your corporation and have your back at times like this. Instead - well, read the comments and judge your performance as promoters of free speech.

  • Sieg Heil !! LOL

  • awsome youtube shoud be renamed "youtube...or get out of my site!"

  • penis... that is all!

  • He's is yummy.

  • nice

  • test

  • Comment removed

  • i notice that google has now started putting a message on their search results, saying that content has been removed from the search results because they have recieved DMCA claims.

    if they check these DMCA claims as ''well'' as they check the youtube ones, then im quite sure that google are helping the digital book burners to hide things they dont like.

    this has me using another search engline now for most of my searches.

    as soon as there is an alternative, i will stop using google.

  • Here's an idea;no comments are blocked,deleted, or ,hidden on youtube sites;it started out that most of these hidden comments were ad hominem offensive remarks;but now,it's common that the hidden comments are just those that the poster disagrees with;this is cowardly;also,theObama administration's attempts to marginalize Fox should be condemned

  • Good comment but, if I could add:

    What the f$%k is Fox anyway?

    A mouth piece/propaganda wing for the Repubes/ Fascists. I mean they don't even try to be fair or decent, so (and I could care less, I think ALL corp media sucks) if the Pres doesn't want to talk to them, so what.

    Funny, how we never heard any bitching in 8 very LONG years, when the Bushie Cabal was CENCORING the media.

    Take Care.

  • youtube channels are being suspended right and left, videos are being taken down, just because somebody somewhere disagrees with the content and abuses the easy to abuse flagging and DMCA system. at the same time, google is working hard to make its censorship in china more effective, so that the chinese government doesnt interfere with google making profits.

    google doesnt care about freedom of speech, and its so obvious that i have to say: the person in the video above is dishonest.

  • Google supports freedom of expression.

    *except when directly or indirectly criticizing Google and or its agendas

  • Oh, enabled comments and ratings :).

  • This is by far one of the bgigest jokes around. Google is far from a strong proponent of free speech.

  • google = big brother in 1984

  • Fix the flagging system. Allow all points of view to be expressed and stop groups of flaggers causing channels to be taken down. Do not demote videos for any reason. Allow the honors to truly reflect what people watch, comment on and how they rate a video. Do not hide from the public the truth about what people want to watch here. Quit censoring the specific words people use. If a word is in the common vernacular, it should NOT cause a video to be demoted. Start really supporting free speech!

  • I Am HERE

  • what about china?

  • hypocrites

  • 2/3 of the Amerikan budget is on defense. 3000 people died on 9/11, so in the ten years following the attacks, how many trillions are being poured onto the debt? This is like is your house got robbed, spending your entire earnings and taking on huge debt to build a moat around your house. Loading every citizen with tens of thousands of dollars of debt, inflating the currency, without really even solving anything is ridiculous. It makes you wonder if that was the terrorist plan all along.

  • The biggest threats to America at the moment (not in any particular order);

    -Corporate/Privately owned "News" Channels

    -Pharmaceutical TeeVee

    -Large military/police force

    -The evil of endocrinating children w/Superstition/Religion

    -Prohibition

    -Big expensive Draconian Gov't building more prisons than Universities.

    -Corporate/Privately owned prison system

    -Highest incarceration rate for nonviolent crimes

    -NWO control of food supply

  • ..around the world except China. You should have included that in your speech.

  • *begin sarcasm* Let's celebrate taking down the Berlin Wall, then go and reinforce the Beijing Firewall! Yay! *end sarcasm*

  • Oh wow, they finally allowed ratings and comments! I guess youtube was tired of people telling them how much they fail at freedom of expression :-P

    I'm curious how long it'll last.

  • well, they still dont allow free expression in the form of comments on the free expression channel.

    the fact that they have not deactivated the box completaly makes me assume they must be fishing for compliments but not getting any.

    they probably have real bad communication problems going on at google and dont know just how bad their reputation has become.

    they probably think that eventually we will all go away, and the people that like them (lol) will start to show up and make them look good

  • "they probably have real bad communication problems going on at google and dont know just how bad their reputation has become."

    I'm going to have to disagree with that statement. While Google has a horrible reputation over here in Youtube, it's a fairly trusted company and well liked by many. There's a reason many people use their services to do everything.

    But I do wonder just what the guy who decided to do this stunt was thinking. They were practically asking for all the negative comments!

  • hmm, maybe they want negative answers.

  • Hi NOTk.....

    "There's a reason many people use their services to do everything." Yes I agree w/ that, and its because up until a few years ago, they were tops. Now after a few years of the CRAP that they have been up to, as w/ YT, the other persons comment might ring true. There is NO corporate loyality. Once someone else comes up w/ something better, the folks will flock to it. How many search engines have we been through prior to Gaggle. Goggle is now part of the DIA community.

    Peace

  • Interesting.

  • Google and Youtube means Fred

  • Now that there is a large base of partners I think that only they should have the ability to flag videos since they are almost certainly not trolls this will help to fix the 'broken' flagging system immensely. Partners have the potential to make money and obviously want to; the risk of having this taken away works as leverage to keep them objective and unbiased (at least more so than the average troll). This is just my simple suggestion I'm sure it will fall on deaf ears or known at all.

  • fag

  • THE MATRIX HAS YOU

  • Dear Google and all of your other little flying monkeys,

    THE WHOLE INTERNET is watching your triple bottom line, so YOU had better start as well.

  • Wow!! It took 1 day of nothing but negative replies for you to allow comments and ratings!!

    I guess you realize the power of the users now.

    You need to stand up for what is right! The flagging system is a farce. You know it is.

    FIX IT!

  • What about CHINA?

    Why does Google work with their regime and help them sensor the internet?

  • I'm going to celebrate my free speech by asking aloud (so to speak) why Google who "loves free speech"(TM) helps the Chinese government censor the Internet for its users? I guess potentially having a billion more users is more important than making a stand for free speech.

    Unless you guys have something else planned... (we can only hope.)

  • This video is full of propaganda, false information, misleading information and lies. What a load of shit.

  • is this real?: watch?v=Zp9lqK7H3n0&feature=su­b

    are you censoring content in China?

    Google was for me the ultimate software company, if what the video says is true then you have utterly disappointed me

  • Google: We support Free expression!*

    Google/Youtube we support free speech!**

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    *except for all that stuff we censored

    **except for all that other stuff we censored

  • FIX the flagging system and take all FALSE flags OF everybody's videos! Until then this is hypocricy.

  • Nazi scum!!

  • Instead of making stupid new disingenuous channels, how about working on your FALSE FLAGGING and VOTEBOTTING problems!!!!!

  • i was starting to think this was a prank by some guy taking the piss. the only think that convinced me this video is actually from google is the links to flags on your background picture.

    had it not been for that, i would have been sure this is a sick joke.

  • BOO!!! Who the fuck do you think you're kidding you corporate slimeballs???

  • oh look, you turned the comments and ratings back on.

    tell me, whos bright idea was it to deactivate comments and ratings on a video ''promoting'' free speech?

  • It's not bad enough that you keep censoring everyone, you have to add insult to injury? You algorithmically demote and suspend free expression. Do you think we're retarded or something? Free speech would be much better off if your shit-eating company didn't exist.

    Fuck off, Google. Seriously, I hope you all choke.

  • I'll cast my lot in with the other commentators. This is a hypocritical load of crap until Google can live up to it's own ideas about free speech. Your company has brought some amazing stuff to the world, but with all the power it has, Google has more responsibility than any other company. You might start by not gathering so much information about your users and their activities, by stopping youtube censorship, and and stopping censorship in china.

  • Hypocrisy at the highest level. Fuck Youtube and Google censorship!

  • I know for a fact youtube/google is petitioned on a daily basis to fix the youtube flagging system which is abused by certain tyrannical entities (Creationists, Scientologists, Christian Dominionists) to censor people and youtube/google has done precisely NOTHING for YEARS. google is up its own ass about how much it promotes free speech? Talk about "delusional."

  • I've seen cases where certain videos (eg. videos that are critical of youtube's practices) don't show up in searches, even if they're not flagged. To me, this is pure hypocrisy on the part of google/youtube.

  • STOP CENSORING CHINA!! How can you act as if you were a promoter of freedom of speech, while google helps china to censor the internet??

    YOU HYPOCRITE!!!!

  • Is this a joke?

  • google/youtube free expression? you're kidding right? ...bad joke

  • Stop censoring China.

  • A good idea is to tell China and other places where oppression exists that you will NOT be doing business with them until your product can be used the way in which it was intended.

    Is selling out in order to get some extra money really worth it for your reputation?

    If more big companies stood up to China and resisted the potential to get SOME of market, then things might be forced open.

    Then companies like Google can capture ALL of that available market.

    Stop selling out.

  • Here's a few thoughts:

    Stop helping corrupt regimes (i.e. China) to censor the internet.

    Stop censoring YouTube videos critical of Google.

    Stop censoring websites from your search results when you feel it will be unprofitable for people to find them.

  • google translator alows a political refugee to write in english even if she doesnt know english.However, if you go for youtube and want the listener to feel your words in his her head heart you need to speak in his her language. not even a human translator will do. thats where we come in.murcia video above

  • Comment removed

  • Also, why is it that youtube/google refuses to have an open location for giving you comments and feedback? You channel everyone into the same questions and you ignore perfectly good technical suggestions. Your comment interface is very awkward to use thereby blocking free discussions. You refuse my suggestions as to how to fix the comment sections. If there are many comments it is impossible to use.

  • The fact of the matter is that youtube and google censor and this needs to stop. Things like false flagging, DMCA and suspensions are common and need attention from them. It is time for youtube/google to walk the walk, and not just talk the talk.

  • I heard what you had to say on NPR about it better to have a foot in the door to china but watch?v=Zp9lqK7H3n0

    Also, why is it that google is so evil that you won't allow links in comments? That's a censorship that is very annoying.

  • I agree. People should be able to site sources in the comments. If people use the links to promote their own site, so what?

  • Even if it is their own site that's ok so long as they are not spamming. We have a nice spam button to report the cheaters.

  • Idea: stop censoring China?

  • You have instantly a serious credibility problem if you have to approve comments on your main page. Open things up to dialog and delete the spammers afterwards.

  • Second comment. You are free to expres your opinion as long as it doesn`t bother the possible censor > you tube in this case.

    That is what I have seen many times, especially with presidential elections comments.

    But that is world wide case, no freedom of nothing really exists..
