YouTube is deleting the torture videos, if they were violating TOS why would they delete them now after years of being online? A person has the right to ask why Google is doing so and why now? in Egypt there is a crackdown against the opposition of the coupe all the Islamic TV stations were shutdown, those who use Rabea4 sign on social media will face 5 years in prison, those who lead a demonstration will be executed and those who join a demonstration will be sentenced for 5 years in prison. All the Husni Mubarak era figures were mostly pardoned, no one has been pointed by the corrupt judges for the deaths of the 25th of January revolution. and on top of that the US government supports the coup, Keri said that Muslim Brotherhood hijacked the revolution! so where does google stands? with deleting this videos any person wonder if google is collaborating with the US and the Egyptian government? on facebook, facebook itself deleted many anti coup pages that were very popular. I hope that google does this by mistake and bring back the videos. and your link which mentions that Google has refused government pressure the case was for the anti Islam movie, but when Muslims are tortured and are the victims the video is deleted!

YouTube is a huge repository of videos, it's impossible to apply all the TOS rules all the time and instantly. They often flag videos for copyright infringement "years" after being submitted, and other stuff like judging if a video might violate other parts of the TOS might require human judgment which would take even longer. Also why does YouTube even have to "stand" with anyone one here?! they are running a website, that doesn't mean everything they do must have a political agenda. Also why would they have to be collaborating with any government? as with the incident I linked to in my previous comment shows they don't' take orders from governments and won't remove legal materials. Have it even crossed your mind that someone who wanted these videos gone may have abused YouTube's flagging system? it won't be the first time. All that speaks to your shoddy reporting.

  well those videos has been viewed millions of times before and if for sure many people has flagged them specially those working for the government so it does not makes sense to claim that Google finds them against their TOS, Google did not say that to begin with. you can wait for google's answer before you jump into defending them. As for the link you mentioned why would not you take it as a n acting game between the US government and YouTube to halt Muslim anger around the world "we ask you to delete them but you say no" have not crossed into your minde that Google might be involved in anti Muslim activities, i am just saying that is a possibility i am not saying for sure google is doing so as a conspiracy but it raises a high question.

    You didn't "wait for google's answer" before attacking them and asserting your own theories. The rest of your comment tells me all I need to know about you and the type of blog you're running. Have a good day.

      the blog post asked if google is involved in the conspiracy but did not say that for sure they are. and i am not revealing my identity -----

      however i feel strongly there it is a conspiracy that Google is part of to cover up the truth, since there is no other explanation and i wont buy their words if they said they were deleted by Mistake. and btw who said that they violates google TOS? you are just assuming.
