The YouTube "Censorship Scale"

This video describes a scale to measure censorship on YouTube.

It's the story of two youtubers, Tom (a religions person) and Al (an atheist). Their stories illustrate the scale system. In each stage, typical reasons are given, and typical viewers' reactions are described.

There are 5 levels plus one attribute:
* Stage 0: Freedom of speech
* Stage 1: Deleting some comments
* Stage 2: Require comment/video response approval
* Stage 3: Block users
* Stage 4: Disable all comments
* Attribute "B": Disabled ratings (can happen in any Stage)

To describe a channel's censorship level, you simply specify a number and optional letter. For example, Stage 3, or Stage 2B.

Why is Al the fat one?

[AtheismTV]

@scourge108 Well, since Tom is ugly I thought Al couldn't be perfect or else it would be too pedantic. See this as the Laurel and Hardy of YouTube.

@atheistram Thx, its just my honest observation.

[atheistram]

@AtheismTV Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[atheistram]

@preetor1 I agree with you 100%.

[preetor1]

@AtheismTV Then you made opinion without looking at the evidence @LaughingMan0X presented. I get that a lot too, i get called even as conspiracy theorist FIRST and without getting in to the evidence i presented. You suggest me to make video, now you know why i dont bother. Even if i prove that the jews ARE frauds as a COLLECTIVE, whoring for reparations with pictures and films THEY THEM SELVES EXPLAIN. You "heard" all i had to say and i have nothing more to you. GL with you project =)

[AtheismTV]

@preetor1 I was talking to atheistram who said there are no atheists who say that the white race is superior. I pointed to this individual because in his video he refers to studies that seem to indicate "whites" have a higher IQ than other races, among other things. I'm not saying anything about the truth value of his claims.

I also don't have 1.5 hour to listen to pwnage of a friend, and analyze the gigantic list of data there. One day I will do it but now I'm too busy.

@AtheismTV I watched that clip you posted, you think @LaughingMan0X is a racist white supremacist and that video is a lie?

The clip: "Does Diversity Cause Conflict? Is Racism Natural? And Is Zaunstar Dishonest? "

[preetor1]

@AtheismTV But dont get me wrong, i like @Zaunstar in other areas like in atheism. He is good narrator and a news reader He only needs to stay out of multiculturalism, he messed that one badly

We are just one group of ppl, our background only makes us different and those differences need to be worked out. Some ethinc groups are more keen to crime and they should be dealt with. Sadly we CAN point fingers and we have to point them out so we can fix them for the rest of us to be safe.
