Right Wing Watch performs an invaluable public service, so this development disturbs me. Let's hope the matter is resolved soon and that those videos find their way back online.
UPDATE: Right Wing Watch is working on the issue.
@Ahab_Of_Gilead We are working to get our account back up ASAP. In the meantime we will be posting new vids on a backup channel.

11/19/15 UPDATE: The videos are back online at YouTube.
Grrrr..... I've long been exasperated with YouTube. Not only are videos there ad-clogged to death, but YouTube deletes videos and whole accounts at the drop of a hat. One uploader I know puts back-ups of all his videos on Vimeo as a hedge against deletion (Vimeo isn't ad-clogged and plays better on Firefox, anyway). Right Wing Watch should do the same, or just move its videos there wholesale or to some other service. What they do is too important to be at constant risk of random censorship.
ReplyDeleteInfidel -- I wish we had more details on who lodged the complaints against Right Wing Watch. The organization didn't do anything wrong!
DeleteWhatever solution they come up with, I hope their video archive goes back online soon. In the meantime, some of their videos are available here:

I had no idea...I'm not a huge user of youtube so I guess that's why...
ReplyDeleteSherry -- I was startled when I realized that none of the Freedom 2015 videos I embedded were valid anymore.
DeleteLet's hope this is resolved soon.
ReplyDeleteDonna -- I hope the matter is resolved quickly.
