unethical behavior on the part of youtube
I would like to ask why YouTube has been demonetizing Law Enforcement Information Channels' videos that either do not involve violence of any kind, or do not involve hate speech. This is getting out of hand and needs to stop.
YouTube has been removing monetization from videos, from what it appears, simply for having Law Enforcement Officers in them. For example: Bodycam Footage, Traffic Stops where a suspect is a different race than the officer, traffic stops where the word "gun" is mentioned by one or more parties, footage of a convicted felon being detained or arrested by police, Police defending themselves from being attacked by suspects.
Again, this is getting out of hand. I understand you are a private business and have the right to make whatever rules you wish, however you are a Business operating within the United States of America, where we have a Constitution and Bill of Rights.
When you demonetize a video for things such as Law Enforcement Doing their job or Riot Police handling rowdy protesters, you make it seem like you are placating criminal actions and encouraging violence against Peace Officers.
I am simply wanting to understand why you remove a channel's ability to make a living by reporting on a situation in a non-biased manner.

"hate speech" violation
I have noticed that there are several videos of which have become removed due to "hate speech" violations, and due to there being absolutely no such thing as hate speech (as well as restricting content variety) I do believe you should "reconsider" your decision to remove such content, most of which I enjoy using for satirical purposes or in the use of "memes" such as for audio and so forth.
banning comment
YOUTUBE via GOOGLE are banning people due to liking DONALD TRUMP. Monetized or not Monetized it does not matter. Google owners of Youtube are political. You most likely have been banned for this reason.
Contact your USA Congress, some are part of this Corporate Evil Swamp, others are not. This is a Corporations acting like Government. The Fact that Google will not stop the SnowFlakes of Youtube twisting things, is most likely, collectively they are out together on the Weekend wearing Masks around their face getting paid by the Creep George Soros to be the Cowards called antifa.
THE WHOLE LOT ARE SICK, FROM GOOGLE TO YOUTUBE TO FACEBOOK AND TWITTER, THEY LIE. SO SIMPLE.
Make the People of America and the World Great, not Manipulative Corporations. THEY ARE SICK. Any one agree?
Yes youtube banned me without saying why, I never uploaded a single video but I was deleted I now will make it my life's work to avoid every Google products because they are a bunch of law breaking snoops anyway and have been caught illegally listening in and recording peoples conversations and videos, phones. They track you, know what you like and sell on your private information.

This is my first experience where I am facing a problem with any of the google services.
Kindly help asap

unauthorised use of my video content
Dear Sir / Madam
Please see the link below,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0LLDF2xqTc
This video is seven years old. I only gave my permission for them to publish for 12 months.
Australian Women's Business Network is no longer in business. The channel has not had any activity for 6 years.
This video is not relevant to me now, and in fact represents me poorly, it is the first video that comes up if you search for me. I am the CEO of a recruitment company and this is not good for my personal brand.
This video breaches two of YouTube's policy
1. Inactive accounts policy - not logging into the site for at least six months. No one has been on this site for six years.
2. Infringes my rights (I only gave them copyright permission for 1 year)
Could you please remove this video

I just read that freedomainradio has been accused of violating community standards. The purge of alternative, mostly conservative voice thus continues. By either directly or indirectly killing off prominent creators you are not only showing your disgust for free expression but also your obvious political bias. Youtube will follow fb's decline next.
They are obviously weak but this weakness is damaging America.
your suppression of conservative voices
Hey guys, normal American guy here, I'd like to complain about your service, and lack there of to conservative Americans. I'm tired of hearing about people's voices being squashed. First it was James yaeger and i get it that he's loud and into guns and wouldn't back down from anything and that probably is scary. But him getting his channel deleted was b.s.
Then Alex Jones... Now this one believe me I get, dudes nuts. Full on WWE wrestler nuts. But he's not hurting anyone. And for every 20 conspiracies he throws out that are crazy, he breaks one huge story.
Now you're going after, or someone is, Stephan Molynioux forgive the spelling of his last name. I watch him pretty regularly. He's never threatened anyone, he's never said anything racist, he's a philosopher. But because he's conservative you're being pressured into striking his channel. It's crap. I seriously hope you guys knock this off, YouTube used to be a bastion of free speech, and a place conservatives could listen to ideas from each other and the left. You're ruining that. Please stop.
level of advertising
Hi there,
Youtube is a wonderful service and has provided an amazing platform for so many people to create and consume all manner of videos.
On-demand services seem to be taking a hold of entertainment and media over more traditional platforms, and especially now with the rise of Netflix and NowTV etc.
As such, I understand Youtube's incentives to offer a paid-for service, which makes sense to stay competitive in the current climate. However, I do feel as though some free-to-use users (such as myself) are being held hostage somewhat.
The level of advertising on Youtube videos has increased dramatically, from one skippable (or fairly short unskippable) advert, to at least two skippable adverts before every video I watch (on top of the fairly new trend of adverts appearing mid-video). Today (14/08/2018) I had to endure 2 adverts, each a minute long and without an option to skip in order to watch a 4-minute video. I feel as though this is somewhat excessive.
As I say, I understand placing an advert before videos to monetise the service, as well as advertising your own paid-for service to remove these. However, increasing the level of advertising like this to force people's hand into paying for your product, whilst simultaneously increasing your own advertising revenue, although very good business, does not seem in the spirit in which the platform was created, or for many people the spirit in which it still exists.
I'm not sure quite what impact this complaint may have on the money-making practises of a huge corporation, but I do know that I cannot be the only dissatisfied user, and hope that there is a change in this in the future.
Many thanks,
David
my notifications are getting canceled
I subscribe to a great deal of vegan content as I am an ethical vegan. this means I purchase nothing that comes from or exploits animals in ANY way! I have had my notifications turned off on joey carbstrong, earthling ed and that vegan couple repeatedly. This and the fact that despite my repeated flagging of ads that exploit animals you push these ads at me. To the naked eye, it would seem meat and dairy has bought and paid for you much like a cheap [censored]. so stop tampering with my [censored]! If there was a bird emoji I would insert it here!
abuse /trolling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=60&v=QpjJ-YD4VKI
This is directed at autistic person Fiona Petit O'Leary
It would appear to be abuse of a vulnerable person and this should not be permitted on the YouTube site. The person affected is extremely distressed. The person used inflammatory and abusive language which is also offensive. It should be possible to find this person and to remove this material.
Please advise me hat action are you taking ?

alex jones channel
although I am not an Alex Jones fan
I find it ridiculous that you and your peers have blocked his channel
with all the vile and disgusting things I can see on YouTube that this takes precedent
Is simply a Nazi tactic of propaganda
you all should be ashamed of yourselves
You speak of freedom and rights but you are simply puppets of a higher regime
I do not need to be spoon fed disinformation like your brain dead snowflake masses
I am a man of free thought and will
You are lousy people who hide behind your wealth and power and a good up and coming should find you
My father was a journalist in Communist Slovenia during Tito's regime and fled to
America and finally Canada he would think that you were well how can I say this so you wont cry or run to a safe place a group of arrogant and ignorant people who are in charge
and there is not a worse combination
Thanx Andrew Vrecar
audio on a video movie series
I have been trying to watch Return To Lonesome Dove for quite a while now, and haven't been able. Been trying on other websites also, but they keep saying that video is unavailable at present. Your site pulls it up in search, but the audio is not working. I used to have the DVD collection in my library, but lost it in the flood, along with a lot of other things. Please fix this. It's a movie I can watch over and over.
eng subtitles
English subtitles for the Korean TV series MY Brain-fficial ep.3 with DIA is not working. Is there some icon we have to tap to get them to work? I can't decipher any other of the Korean symbols in the long string of it's title, I can only give you the English parts. This is not the only show that the Eng subtitles don't work on, but I do know that they were working on my tablet last week while watching this series and now this week they haven't been.
removal of alex jones is censorship
Removal of Alex Jones is censorship. I rarely watch Alex, but he is alternative information source. There appears to be collusion of the big information sources. Alternatives to Google will be result at multiple levels. If Google search engine is restricting my search choices, this renders Google search useless, good bye Google. Freedom of speech allows others to hear, consider, and see if there is merit to words spoken or written. Big government and big corporations think, they can think for us, they know best. Country was founded on debate over ideas of how to have private and government entities, to best allow for freedom of trade and political conversations. Perception of bias will taint Google for a long time unless resolved soon.
Alex Jones removal is censorship. We the people, do not like seeing obvious restriction of alternative information. This smacks of collusion among the big information sources. Alternatives to your service at multiple levels will result. I rarely watch Alex, but is alternative option. If options in future are restricted, then your search engine is rendered useless. I will use other sources, good bye Google.
YouTube deletes channels that do not fit their bill VIOLATION OF IST AMENDMENT and possible content theft! I was deleted for no reason and slandered by YouTube I am informed and believe YOUTUBE steals content from content creators branding and stealing accounts so they can sell content at a later date! FOREIGN COMPANY if you use this site make sure you have backup 4 your videos! we all need another platform to put videos on! YOUTUBE CHEATS the content creators
anime character channel purge is insane and must be stopped
dear you tube i have noticed that some of my favorite anime character channels have been taken down and am outraged they were not used for monetary gain but for
entertainment purposes yet they were terminated without reason which is disgrace of any democratic institution and more the action of a autocratic regime and i must insist in the strongest of terms this stop and i will list a few that u wrongfully terminated
abrindged goku
youvsmatt
future trunks
android 18
and if anymore are taken down you will show the world u dont care about free speech i apologize but i am very angry at this witchunt and i want t to end so please stop it so i and countless anime fans can have some joy in my life
sorry for the grammer errors
censoring free speech in any form is a disgrace.
If you think that your going to get away with censoring opinions and view points you don't like and that the nation will just go along with it, your dead wrong. This is still a capitalist nation, you exist to make profits. The average conservative has a lot more money to spend than your average liberal. If your platform is now only for liberals and no longer support any conservative views, conservatives will simply stop using your platform. If conservatives stop using your platform you will lose all advertising aimed at conservatives (you know, the people in this country that actually have money to buy products). So if your willing to ruin your entire platform over your silly ambitions to censor free speech, please be my guest. It will at least be entertaining watching you crash and burn. Maybe you should look up facebook and twitter stocks... they also tried to censor conservatives on their platforms...

abridgment of free speech
There are many offensive things on You Tube such as videos of musical performers engaging in near pornographic acts and mouthing profane words and worse. There are many things on You Tube that do not appear honest but yet you seek to unfairly attack a news service (Alex Jones Channel) that had many noted guests that were allowed to speak freely on political and other important matters such as electromagnetic radiation and health issues that cued the public in early on what was to come and how they might protect themselves, that sought to protect the American public. Though I may watch only occasionally, it appears that you have bowed to a nefarious agenda and that is the removal of the First Amendment to our Constitution and that is Free Speech. It is an obvious act of censorship, not done in any way for the welfare or in the public interest and it sets a dangerous precedent. Americans value freedom and the ability to express their views. We grew up with this basic freedom and should thus be able to discern what is on or off the track to us and if not, do more research on our own. For one, I never thought I would see the day that this would happen in America. It violates all the traditions that were taught in our schools and valued in our society. It tells the American public that there are too stupid and weak to make their own decisions based on the information they see and hear. Instead, it is best for them to bow to the special interests of very wealthy corporate and political entities who control other media services. One can only wonder what type of people would allow this to happen. Are you really willing to compromise yourselves to this extent for a pay check or a promotional increase? Do you value good leadership and ethics within your organization? Do you even know what I am talking about? Do you think about how your children are going to turn out and what sort of world they are inheriting from your actions? This is all in question now and You Tube, which was supposedly established to give the public another forum for information and expression, has discredited its reputation and name. Voltaire said to a friend that he detested what his friend said but that he would fight to the death for his right to say it. THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF FREE SPEECH. I am not interested in the pornography, foul language and trash that appears on some of your channels that you allow to proliferate...only THAT.
violation of the first amendment of the constitution
To start, I am no fan of Alex Jones. But mass banning of him really disturbs me. You, the social media Power Houses, seem to think you can control what people should think and say. In many communist countries, this type of control would work. But the is the USA. What you have done is violated the man's constitutional right to freedom of speech. This does not sit well with me or the millions of other true US citizens. No matter what Alex Jones' opinions are, right or not, he has a right to express them. That is what our forefathers fought for. A few hurt feelings cannot change our rights as Americans. People choose or choose not to listen to him. If a person is insulted by what he says, then they shouldn't listen. No one forced these super sensitive people to hear what Mr. Jones had to say. They did this on their own accord. Mr. Jones should not have his basic rights violated just on someone's hurt feelings. I highly recommend rethinking your actions before massive backlash happens to you, Google, and other social media. You are in a very actionable position by violating a person's very first constitutional right.
