YouTube Doctors testimony on covid19

No one has the right to remove testimony from credible doctors and nurses on front line activities.
These doctors and nurses are honest, hard working and concerned citizens with the intention to do the right thing for the rest of humanity
Who gives you the right to alter civil freedom and truths ?
It seems that this medium is falling to the manipulation of the truth.
Don't let that happen.

I agree. Please stop messing with our freedoms. You have no business choosing which doctors are right and which are wrong. Same with science, same with politics. You are a public forum which needs to allow for disagreements even when it doesn't line up with your companies philosophies.

Hello,

The video with Drs. Erickson and Massihi that you unjustly removed explains immunity and how human beings acquire it to live normal healthy lives. In particular it offers a valid opinion of how healthy people can successfully develop immunity to covid-19. The doctors of this video are on he front lines of this disease. Their professional experience coupled with their experience with covid make this video worthwhile.

I must assume by this that YouTube does not want people to think for themselves?

Shame on you!

YouTube All Pornography even that which is accessed through paid subscription should be banned!

Pornography is a scourge on our society. Young people whose minds are still being formed are vulnerable to it and the long term affects on their ability to form relations with the opposite sex are distorted. In addition to the high rate of divorce and abortive culture that modern society has been promoting for over fifty years now it is highly corrosive toward the family which is the fundamental building block of society. Men and women although they can consent to this filthy business it is an offense against our nature and dignity as children of a loving and just God. We are not dumb beasts driven by the prevailing winds and carnal appetites. God has written in our hearts the law and we know when we transgress those laws instinctively. The sad part about this is that the further man becomes entangled in the endless pursuit of new technology he is filled with an arrogance and disdain for true virtues. Men are being numbed by their addictions and the result is devastating. We must not allow anything that is pornographic to be part of the YouTube community. Even if people are paying for it privately. It is disgusting and destructive to society. We must use technology to teach people good values and that which is truly evil must not be encouraged or permitted.

YouTube stunning new numbers – covid numbers worse than thought, lockdown and trust government and the media - utube video

I am complaining as follows:

You are locking the dollar vigilante videos for several hours (proof given in today, april 14, 2020 video) for no good reason. He is reporting valid news questioning the main stream media ideas of how things are in the world in terms of corona virus, but he has proof for every thing he states. This is honest reporting. It is not offensive, that is it does not fit any of your offensive 'reportable items' list.

Please stop this wrongful censorship. You are censoring valid reporting.

YouTube my video someone claimed rights to content falsely

Our Future-15716

My video with my personal content was flagged and removed because someone with ad revenue claimed I used their content, this is false.

My content is what I have learned from years of healing myself. They have no right to pull or flag my video. They apparently are getting money from MY VIDEO!

My website is JenniferElizabethMasters.com I am a coach and healer with four best selling books to my credit.

YouTube Streaming

'This video has been removed for violating YouTube's Terms of Service'.

This is the message my family received on the youtube live stream for my beloved uncles funeral. We were told that the actual mass couldnt but the after blessingcould be as well as a song, and so more than 40 people waited to say goodbye online as the conrona virus has robbed us of face to face respect. Minutes before the appointed screening the above message came up. How in the hell can a funeral service violate terms of service if it is a private affair with only family and close freinds getting the link. This is heartbreaking to all of us and there is no do over for death. Please explain

YouTube Removal of a video without consultation

As I do not use one of my email addresses very often, I have just noticed that my video

https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=pvES79v5I73xQNot&u=/watch%3Fv%3DQdz-c4DxKRQ

was removed on August 19, 2019; apparently because there is confusion that pups playing and older dog barking at them is classed as dog fighting.

I would be thrown out of all dog clubs of which I am a member if I exhibited any dog fighting.

This is ridiculous that there is no easy disputes process for such nonsense complaints.

YouTube Demonetizing channels

I only watch YouTube for a few shows and for vita information I can't find elsewhere. One channel I just heard you demonetize is Evolutionary Energy Arts. This is a good channel - full of good information and calming to the soul. You keep censoring channels, removing them, demonetizing them - creators will leave. So will I. I have already move to DLive /Bitshoot, Discord and may other platforms.
I'm slowly leaving YouTube because for what you are doing to good creators while the mainstream news spouts off fake news to us nightly. LET US CHOOSE, not you or your AI.

YouTube Outrageous Ad on YouTube

My YouTube app showed me a "Meetic" app ad inbetween my suggestions with very a clear image of sexual intercourse in it.
I have screened it and am ready to pursue.
At no point was I asked my age nor if I was willing to see adult content in my ads, also it's almost impossible to change the settings regarding ads on YouTube, they make it impossible and unclear for the average person to personalize them

YouTube Again unethical behaviour;

YouTube just keeps placing dating ads with sexual content which young children can see! Remove them!
These are visible even in restricted mode.
It seems YouTube is earning money nowadays by placing sexual content. This is exploitation of women and putting kids at risk who can easily contact these women!
Take your responsibility!

YouTube 1st Amendment Videos

YouTube have always been the place to go for unbiased and truthful presentation of many things. I see you are now attempting to stop 1st Amendment audits. Why? This is one of the very most important things you can bring to viewers. The auditors are correct when they film police and others eroding away our right as Americans.

I've always had the greatest respect for the content YouTube presents.
Please don't become one of the "Tyrants" who violate the rights of Americans. i see a trend happening at YouTube and it's truly upsetting.

Please defend the Constitution and those who seek to protect it.

Thank You

YouTube channel accountability for all; video from 3-9-2020

This video, like all this convicted felon does, is violent, repulsive, and hateful. The man encourages viewers to make massive retaliatory calls to various police departments therefore hampering important police business. Man also uses these "productions" to solicit money. He is dangerous and given his history and violent nature puts YouTube in position to be liable from his actions. Please, please review several of his posts. His name is Josh Abrams. I am a retired police officer with 36 years service.

This channel is totally out of control and reaching the point of danger. Josh Abrams to whom the channel belongs is a known felon and is either mentally deranged or on drugs. He is hampering law enforcement to the point he is putting them and the public in danger. When angry he request that his followers mass call a target police department thereby monopolizing their services. He also publicized individual officers and public's information. I suggest you run this by your legal people as I can help but think he is possibly exposing YouTube to civil action.

He's upholding the rights of all Americans and doing a great job. It takes courage to stand ups for your rights unlike so many sheep who go quietly to slaughter.

When you don't stand up for the rights you have they will soon be gone.

Think about it.

YouTube Conservative bias in dubbing in music or jabbering over video audio content

Videos have music or talking or switch to commercials and don't time out when programs feature guests like Republican politicians, our President, and various elected officials. also get bombed out on programs like Dan Bongino, Jeannine Piro, Hannity, on and on.

Google better correct this or it will lose the argument that it should not be subject to government regulation.

You Tube has it's own DEEP STATERS working to suppress information and filter what is known to the population.
