Youtube and Censorship
The Internet created a ways and means for people all over the globe to communicate with each other. It allowed those near and far to share images, videos, thoughts, ideas, and feelings. One of the newest and hottest ways for people to do all of those things is Youtube. As with any medium that allows people to view content, youtube exercises its right to censor things it deems inappropriate, obscene, pornographic, and anything else the Gods who monitor it deem bad.
Recently, my good friend FootChat found out from one of his friends, a fellow foot admirer named Zach, that youtube removed some of Zach's videos. Zach was clueless about it, of course. And it happened many moons after Zach uploaded the videos the youtube Gods deemed bad. Not long after that, youtube suspended my account. It cited me for continuing to load inappropriate videos. Well, if youtube told me they were inappropriate in advance, I would have removed them myself. Honestly, I would have never figured seeing a fully-clothed girl play with a 35mm camera with a lens that fully extends when turned on, and retracts when turned off, would be inappropriate, obscene, offensive, or pornographic. Speaking of pornographic, the jury is still out on 2257, the Bible adult webmasters must follow so as to avoid incarceration. Youtube also cited a fully-clothed girl walking around in Waldenbooks in her stockings as inappropriate, obscene, offensive, or pornographic.
That took me back to Irwin Schiff's book, and how he mentioned the way federal judges can interpret the law in the way they see fit. And if you don't know the law, you truly can be taken for a ride. To paraphrase, he said a federal judge could charge you with the crime of eating a banana in broad daylight on a Thursday. If you don't know the law, then how can you argue the judge is wrong? Let's get back to youtube. It deemed those two videos bad, yet allows a video of a girl telling guys to stroke it to her feet until they....
Footchat said other foot admirers will probably fall victim to youtube's arbitrary pruning of foot fetish content. Some of you may wonder if I pleaded my case to youtube, as I would plead my case to anyone charging me of a crime. I did. The result was after a few emails, youtube replied with a generic response that let me know none of the Gods there read anything I had to say.
So my fellow foot admirers be wary of youtube and its Terms of Use (TOU). But then again, as long as you upload the most blatantly sexual of foot videos, you will be OK. Its the nonhardcore videos youtube is really concerned about.
