Topic: YouTube Removes Movie Trailer Questioning Whether People Are Born Gay - page 3. (Read 1888 times)

You have the freedom to hype freely... Have you watched the video in the vimeo link?


 

Colly, next time read the article, the first paragraph says "has been removed by YouTube, with the company claiming that the content violated the platform’s “policy against spam, scams, and commercially deceptive content” — a claim that the filmmaker behind the project is rejecting."

Wilikon, as usual is spreading media hype. There's no evidence that YouTube removed the video for any reason other than violation of their spam policy. The produce of the video is also making huge speculative accusations with zero fact to support it. The truth is that YouTube - right now - as many anti gay videso posted. If they were taking some ant-religion stance they'd remove all anti-gay, or pro-religion videos.

The bottom line is that YouTube is a business and they don't have to allow all videos on their site, for whatever reason they want. Unlike the Catholic church can allow some of their priests to engage in sex acts with kids, which is in fact illegal. Two adults of the same sex deciding they love each other and want to get married has (literally) zero impact on other people or any religion.

Here is the trailer... Make up your own mind.

Did youtube actually comment or issue a statement why they removed it? Sometimes it has other infringing content but the owners will proclaim some conspiracy. I think controversial things should be allowed though and removing unpopular stuff like this is just censorship at the end of the day ( if it was removed for unpopular opinion etc).

A trailer advertising a scripted movie about homosexuality has been removed by YouTube, with the company claiming that the content violated the platform’s “policy against spam, scams, and commercially deceptive content” — a claim that the filmmaker behind the project is rejecting.

The clip about “Audacity,” which was written and executive produced by evangelist Ray Comfort, was no longer available on YouTube as of Monday morning, with Comfort telling TheBlaze that he suspects that someone at the company “didn’t like what they saw” and removed it.

Comfort, who previously told TheBlaze that the film presents the biblical view of homosexuality, said that someone notified him on Sunday that the trailer — which had already amassed 130,000 views — was no longer available.


“As anyone who makes movies will tell you, the trailer can make or break the film. It creates interest and gets people excited,” Comfort said. “So, we are continually keeping an eye on how many views they get. … we monitor it daily to see how it’s doing.”

He was surprised to see that the clip was no longer available over the weekend.

A message now appears on the defunct trailer that reads, “This video has been removed as a violation of YouTube’s policy against spam, scams, and commercially deceptive content,” but Comfort said that there’s nothing in the clip or the film that comports with that reasoning.

“Watch the two-minute trailer and see if you can find spam, a scam or anything commercially deceptive,” he said, adding that he believes someone at YouTube simply saw the trailer, didn’t agree with its contents and had it removed. “All we want is to be treated fairly.”
