Update: I spoke too soon. Here we go again.
Following yesterday’s post highlighting the fact I was one strike from having my YouTube channel deactivated – all because of videos I uploaded to expose the hatred, incitement and terrorism of Hamas – it now seems YouTube has reverse the strikes they had issued against me, meaning the channel is no longer in imminent danger.
I am not 100% sure what prompted YouTube to backtrack, but I do know this: A representative of the Simon Wiesenthal Center personally intervened to contact YouTube about my case. And they claim YouTube really is trying to eliminate those who promote terrorism, although sometimes “others get caught up in it.”
I hope this is the case, and not some entrenched bias over at Google and YouTube.
In any event, I am thankful for this stay of execution, as well as all of the support I received since my post. A special thanks to reader Adam who went ahead and downloaded my YouTube videos as a back-up, all of those who offered to do the same thing, those who donated to the site via Paypal or Patreon, those who also contacted YouTube or offered to do so, and those who just generally helped get the word out and sent kind thoughts my way. I truly appreciate it.
