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.

YouTube Somebody changed the name of my channel and removed most of my videos and I have no access or pass word to upload my Videos

I am Ahmed Eissawi, the owner of an educational cultural channel called (Arab American cultural TV (AACT). Two weeks ago someone has changed the name of my channel to (let's learn Arabic) and removed most of my videos that I uploaded. No body has access to my channel except my partner Karim Metwally, his name as a youtuber is Karim Jovian.

Now and for 2 weeks I could not upload any videos because I have no email or pass word for my channel and also for this channel that I did not know who put it instead of mine, My students are keeping ask for new episodes and new lessons but I can not do any thing. I am the face of my channel and the viewers (almost one million and half) keep asking for new videos.

Please I need to restore my Arab American cultural TV (AACT) because I established it to build bridge between cultures in Language, History, and Culture. You can contact me in my email : [protected]@gmail.com
My cellphone is [protected].

YouTube Abortion info ads

Hi abortion info ads is popping up on my 9yr old sons minecraft, and youtube videos. I am in no way prepared to explain abortion to my nine year old and would like that these ads are age appropriate! He is now asking me what abortion is!

I would like to safeguard my 9 year olds mind but abortion info ads are all over his youtube thanks to pro life. Not a subject i want to bring up at this point in his life! Low blow pro life!

Its because there is a referendum to vote whether to legalise abortion. Its a life in prison if a woman aborts. My son doesnt need to know this.

Wow, so sex ads are rampant on youtube, but you can tell your kid that an abortion is where you take the baby out early before its alive

Tell him people ACCIDENTALLY have babies that they cant afford

But screw girls that get raped and are FORCED to live with a baby they never wanted

YouTube blocking videos

You have blocked 2 DR. Phil videos that are about child trafficking.
By blocking these videos you are aiding the traffickers of humans.
These videos should be viewed as important public information.

I warned cnn 7 years ago in a letter such as this to stop lying or they would eventually be the laughing stock of (made up) news.
Funny what's happened to them.

This is my warning to you: More and more we are accessing other sites to avoid youtube censorship.
We are Americans and FREEDOM is a big deal to us. Take youtube to China and operate there. Then we will understand the deceptive practices. If you want to stay in the free market, stop taking away freedoms.
And if you are blocking videos that inform about human trafficking and pedophilia, what does that say to views? It says you like these things and don't want it to end.
IT IS ENDING so get on board or get you stinking pseudo info platform to China where it belongs! You can reply to me in 7 years.

YouTube many many things

I despise the way Alison is ignoring Chris over the Onision stuff. He is still bringing you money so there is no point in shutting him down. He's an evil paedophile and by the way any of you so called executives that have children WATCH OUT. You are encouraging the use of child sexual images and grooming to go unpunished. What is that saying the only way evil wins is for good men and women to do NOTHING. What do you think ignoring someone like Onision or Alison Parkers execution to be screened on your site. I'm thinking of setting up an arts and crafts business doing tutorials. I've had many succesful little businesses only closing due to bereavement. I lost my partner last year in October as well as my entire older family over the previous ten. I'm full of grief and yet I can still be bothered to get in touch with you on the stupid premise that just maybe someone good will see this and the many other messages about Onision, about grooming, about showing the death of a journalist as entertainment is WRONG. Grow a pair of balls You Tube take these ars***les down. Yeah I'm British so no [censored] in my language. DO IT DO IT DO IT. Also your ads are amazing.

When I say your ads are amazing I'm being sarcastic. I mean who wants life insurance and funeral payment videos when I've just lost my partner, mum, brothers, sisters aunts, uncles you know. YOU PUT THEM ON MY PAGE ALL THE TIME. Plus I reckon my stupid cousin who I let use my computer is watching porn. He is of consenting age after all. SO then somehow even though it's not on my history supposedly or so he assures me I keep getting vile adverts for women to come and please me. I'm a woman you f***** idiots. Funerals and prostitution. WAY TO GO YOU TUBE. I'd be careful because Karma is a [censored] and no matter how powerful you think you are there are many many things more powerful than you in your condo with your millions. When you die you are the exact same as the homeless person you ignore on your way to work. Remember that.

YouTube a video about how to turn a mobile phone to Ciri predicting the end of the world

my 9 year old Grandson inadvertently clicked on this one evening last week and was devastated by its content. Why is it so easy for underage children to get hold of these disgusting videos. Surely there must be a way to stop this in order that children are not subjected to this disgraceful rubbish. Shame on all of you.

making this kind of rubbish easily accessible in the current climate of online bullying etc mystifies me. Children have enough to deal with in their day to day lives without having to see rubbish like this on Utube.

It beggars belief that there are not significant safety checks in place to stop minors accessing this absolutely disgusting content like a video on predicting when the world will end.

It seems to me that you are just making money out of children with no forethought as to their safety.

Feel free to publish this post, I am absolutely disgusted and would not click on a Utube video now if you paid me.

I am very angry to see that you are advertising Epoch News. This is a Chinese News paper that is publishing false news and promoting President Trumps lies and conspiracy theories. You are supporting the attacks of President Putin on our country and publishing lies about Trump and the Republican Party. I asking you to take down this advertisement for this fake news media. You are taking money from the very people attacking our country and our Constitution. Trump is becoming a dicator with all his crimes. Please we are fighting for our country and our Constitution. This is promoting hate, racism, bigotry, misogyny and the traitorous Republican Party. I have stated several time that this is fake news on Facebook and will continue too do so until you stop advertising this corrupt and traitors publication.

YouTube help me. because.. the community cant.

I'm having problems with my old YouTube account. I switched it over etc, its linked to a google account I havent used in 5yrs, I tried recovering it but its also linked to a mobile I do not use anymore.

YouTube Account; danipingu27

Details: Danielle Hughes
01/09/1989. I thought I was still linked to it and decided I wanted to sort it out and add more stuff to realise that I'm locked out of the email: [protected]@googlemail.com, I tried to recover it and it showed my old number ending in 993. What are my options?

The email that is linked to my new phone, and accounts is;

Missy.mee.[protected]@gmail.com, I also use [protected]@gmail.com.

I've already bought the legacy over with the gia link. I just need help recovering the email as I dont know the password, and I'm locked out of recovering it dye to the mobile number being now obsolete. Please make these situations easier, it's taken me 3 weeks to find this page, I even rang a +1 number from the UK and that's not cheap, to be told to use the community, this wasnt helpful at all. Why is this so complicated.

The youtube account was linked to my old email [protected]@hotmail.co.uk & [protected]@live.com which are still active, so I've probably been compromised somewhere, as I used to automatically log into this account.

You have several options to email me back here, so please get someone to respond to me, I'm now married and have a different last name but my passport is still valid and in the name of Hughes, I also have my marriage certificate to prove it's me, which by the photos and videos of the account wont have trouble identifying. HELP ME PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Regards Danielle

YouTube bloomberg advertisements in videos

While watching a non-political informational video, it was interupted by an advetisement by Bloomberg running for president. It is not right to have to watch Bloomberg advertisements in videos posted on YouTube. If you want to sell him ads in the margins, that is your right, but don't make me watch that crap. I would not vote for someone who thinks he is above the electorial process in which everyone else has to participate. Thanks

YouTube suppressionism

You know I have been using YouTube for god knows how many years. I have one video, which I can unfortunately not get into anymore as I forgot my password which has 800, 000 views, I hope that counts for something. I have a new channel also, that did not do as well as I hoped, but that's not down to me trying! But when I am blocked from some chat rooms I notice, I find that very bizarre and hope it's just a glitch. As i get into most chat rooms. I tried to get into Lookners coronavirus chat room to give him a donation and found I could not make a donation or chat to people about this horrible infection. I hope you can look into this as i do not leave the house much and your channel if you like, is my TV as I do not watch TV. If I cannot chat on your wonderful channel i am lost...Please look into the problem for me...Many Thanks Patrick

YouTube Onision

Hello would you like to comment on how you are taking a paedophile's side because it makes you money? ALLEGEDLY? Seriously I watch YouTube a lot and have done since you started. Now you're owned by Google who did me out of a £100 once and a World renowned journalist took them on my behalf. Anyway that says to me that you are so corporate and greedy and think you are untouchable. You're not. You get older and you die. That's one thing I'm sure of and Karma will come for you at some point. Why are you letting Onision do what he does? You should have stopped him when he started body shaming 13-year-old girls, yet now it's out there that you support paedophiles as long as they make money Allegedly what do you have to say to that? I know I'll be ignored, but you are as bad as them if you let it go on. Chris Hansen and Anxiety War don't make money because they use the word predator, yet you are actively doing the same thing by allowing Onision and his vile brand of sickness free rein. What is wrong with you? Is it because you like what he does? Would any of you allow your children to go through what he does to girls and women every day? If so then you are as bad as him in the worst way. Everyone is calling for you to take notice and stop this man who is way older than he pretends to be. DO SOMETHING STOP BEING A GREEDY COWARDLY CORPORATION.

YouTube half time show - super bowl 2020

Your shows are amazing, unfortunately I am disappointed with the outfits your main entertainers wear. It is too provocative and appears as if they are trying to sell sex more than they are trying to sell their art/music. I'm embarrassed to have my 4 year old daughter watch this on TV as a family friendly channel as if this is the way woman are suppose to portray themselves and sexualize themselves on national television. Please stop sexualizing a family friendly American event.

Hello. I have the location services disabled for the YouTube app on my Android device. However, I am getting personalized ads based on location. When I use the app at home, I do not get personalized ads. As soon as I go to work in [location removed], I suddenly start getting ads about housing in Irvine. This is very disturbing to me. I don't want YouTube using my location or following me around. I want a way to completely disable YouTube from accessing my location in any way.
