I just can't believe youtube's really changing its policy this badly. Sure the terms of service have long essentially defined everything as hate speech while encouraging people to voice controversial opinions (yes very mixed messages!). In practice this means the policy is defined by how its enforced. Up till recently I thought youtube did an excellent job of allowing vibrant discussion of controversial topics:- a mature and responsible policy that would make anyone who espoused the virtues of the Enlightenment happy!

Then I got four videos taken down in half an hour, and a 'privacy notifications' against a further two. Believe it or not, the privacy notifications were against videos where I documented a muslim guy hunting for and dropping my docs. WTF, seriously W-T-F.
He drops my docs, YT scarcely bats an eyelid, now he says the video calling him on it is violating his privacy?

The following videos were taken down, according to YT after review by their dedicated members who determined these videos violated terms of use. This can only make sense if its 'Youtube-Malaysia: Theocratic Chapter'. Malaysia is the place that recently sent a guy back to Saudi where he may face death for merely making three vanilla tweets about Islam. For me it doesnt seem impossible that there is an element of disconnect between what 'Youtube Malaysia' and the rest of the world regard as religiously offensive.

I can only hope that it really is this simple, that it's just an error by an overzealous censor. If its a change in policy, its an ill wind that doesn't blow anyone any good.

I am part of a religion called "Fuck You". In this religion, it states that other religions being taught are against my religious beliefs. Will Youtube go ahead and take down those videos for me?

See a brain??

Take a sword to an apostates head and split it open. You'll see a brain.

No need for an X-ray machine.

It will have to be an apostate though. If you split open the skull of a muslim you may find nothing occupying that cavity bigger than a date.

sorry or when they don't even know of the test. So again be sincere and ask him to show you. Use any language you want. English or French or whatever. Just be polite and remember he who created you and knows everything about your past, present and future. He loves you and care about you more than your own mothers MANY times over.

[Ana Muslim]

I do know and I am very grateful for that. You don't or don't believe in that and that's unfortunate. That's one way how someone fails a test. When they know there is a test and he/she doesn't prepare for it. I pray to the Lord to show you the right path. My advice is to ask him to show you. Be honest and ask him. You seem intelligent and open minded. Just do this and ask him sincerely. You've got nothing to lose and no one would know. It's between him and you. no one else.

[yankinCanada]

Yes. Really.

I only give credit when credit is due.

You don't know there is an afterlife and you don't know that there is a hellfire or a paradise.

You couldn't know.

[Ana Muslim]

Yank, "own intelligence" really? wow...Just say thank you Lord ...be thankful and don't use what the creator gave you to fight him. I am not negotiating on here at all and you are right I don't need to. But Muslims are ordered to inform others of the religion. They say what you don't know scares you. We are ordered to let others know there is an after life and there is a hell fire and a paradise. So people prepare for that before death comes.

[Tor Hershman]

WOW! I sure am glad NONE of my videos are offensive to ANY religion

.

[yankinCanada]

When you either claim to be in possession of the truth or claim to know what the supernatural wants of human beings, why should you bow to negotiate with anyone who is an outsider?

This is the greatest peril that monotheism represents to the rest of us that are satisfied that human beings are well capable of arranging a sane, safe and prospering civilization by our own intelligence and empathetic sensibilities.

[yankinCanada]

And there is a good example of what your religion does to people. It supplants normal ethical thinking with something outrageously cruel.

No one except those that adhere to obedience on the level Islam demands could ever justify how a cruel deed deserves an eternal torturing punishment.

[cabrioleur]

Islamic laws have to be 100% followed in multiple places, most famously in Saudi kingdom: women can't drive, or to show up anywhere, other religions are forbidden, people stoned to death for silly things, foreign workers used sexually and otherwise. Somehow you prefer to live in the bankrupt West that allows to practice any religion you want, while thinking that credit cards, saving accounts, CD's don't exist in the glorious paradise of Islamic Middle East.

[yankinCanada]

I'm not arguing with you. I think I am understanding you just fine, thanks.

I am telling you how it really is.

[Ana Muslim]

Ice, Don't think that the creator is not watching! He is. He steps in as he wishes. He would step in only in the right time. He only knows when. We don't. We just think it is the right time. We are weak. He is not.
