YouTube says Scientology critics are 'repeat offenders'

en.wikinews.org — So far, at least two well-known critics of Scientology, Mark Bunker and Tory Christman, have had their user accounts on the video sharing website YouTube suspended. In an exclusive statement to Wikinews, YouTube said the reasons were because they violated the terms of use as "repeat offenders."

  • Karai, on 04/18/2008, -0/+16So... Let me get this straight... Uploading videos that you, yourself recorded and hold the copyright to is against the YouTube Terms of Use?

    Something doesn't seem right to me... Looks like it's time to flood YouTube with over 9000 of each video that Mark had until they get it through their heads.

  • vongole, on 04/18/2008, -0/+7The cult gets a vid taken down. It pops up all over the internet. All the cult does is draw attention to itself and its abusive nature.

  • someoneno1, on 04/18/2008, -0/+6so sick of this *****. stop ***** up, youtube.
  • londonroad, on 04/18/2008, -0/+6I find this behaviour astonishing.
  • Icouldbe, on 04/18/2008, -0/+6Look, you know that the Jason Beghe video is extremely damaging to Scientology and makes way for other celebrities to stop towing the line. So you know that the Corporation of Scientology is going to pull out all the stops to have this video removed, that includes lying and legal action. So let's do the right thing and inform YouTube about the situation and let them know why this is a big deal through polite letter writing or phone calls. YouTube is on our side because our videos and viewership makes them money, even money from Scientology now.

  • fivo7, on 04/18/2008, -0/+5scientology kills people and wbm and magoo are rpt offenders! FTW ?
  • MarkWI, on 04/18/2008, -0/+4Censorship is a trademark of the Scientology criminal cult. Believe me, Scientology is much worst than the Stalin regime. It’s all about controlling people and ripping them off. No love, no help, no tears. Scientologists, on the other hand, are just conned people who believe the cult will give them God-like powers in exchange for sacrificing their money and life to the cult.

  • ronster72, on 04/18/2008, -0/+4time to take the fight to youtube I guess
    for the lulz
  • deanoplex, on 04/18/2008, -0/+3What a relief! Thanks, Freedom!
  • Interscene, on 04/18/2008, -0/+3Remember - this is just one small part of the problem for the Scientologists.
    THERE IS MORE THAN A THREE MINUTE VIDEO.
    Sorry for the all caps.
    The film made by Mark Bunker (AKA, Wise Beard Man) is a lot longer (How long, is unknown) in which he talks about Goodness knows what. He was an high level OT and clearly it is the later, more revealing and embaressing video the Scilons want to stop being published - at the very least, not by a respected, award winning journalist.
    The level of attention the news gave this video must have made them take this drastic action of striking against YouTube. The full release of this longer video must be eagerly anticipated by all~

    Maybe YouTube is innocent, or maybe the scale of these suspensions are in direct proportion to the amount of Advertising the scientologists just purchased?
    Complain! Politely!
    Man the Harpoons!
  • Jassman, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1OVER 9000!!!!
  • DragonFire1024, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1He may have said that yes, but are they going to do anything? Not likely. YouTube has said the same thing as they did to Wikinews...
  • cybrspin, on 04/20/2008, -1/+2actually sounds like a solid idea.
