Top Egypt court orders temporary YouTube ban over video critical of Muhammad
What’s ironic is that YouTube had this video up at all, but in this case, it had a court order telling it to put it up after it took it down previously. YouTube, like the other social media giants, is eagerly sharia-compliant. My account was recently terminated because of a 2014 video entitled, “Al Qaeda and Islamic State flags in London’s tunnels.” The video shows jihadis displaying al Qaeda and Islamic state flags on one of London’s tunnels (see this). So telling the truth gets your account terminated at YouTube. Meanwhile, Anwar al-Awlaki’s calls for killing the kuffar were readily available on YouTube for years, until too many people noticed and YouTube finally had to act.
You fought back and won and my YouTube account was reinstated. But I am still concerned about others who are suspended and don’t have a large social media presence to deploy. We must consider anti-trust laws or legislation to penalize social media giants who suppress our unalienable rights.
