i dont get it. What's the reason?
Was it the male group bathing scene? LOL

Yes, nobody wants to see that.

lol, I think the group like this is considered a terrorist threat!!!

It could of been the plumbers crack or the wearing of underwear instead of a modest Victorian bathing suit.

I think the question is why doesn't YouTube tell their reason. Maybe their afraid of looking ridiculous

Orwell's 1984 got it wrong as it is the corporations like YouTube that get to censor and rewrite history in secrecy and without accountability. Not that I care about the removal of one of my little watched videos with their questionable production values.

It's worse then having some Keystone cops down in the states judging a photographer's intent by the aesthetic value of the photos. But it seems that YouTube is censoring more and more as time goes on.

switch to vimeo

I flagged it as offensive yesterday. Chris' Sony DSLR and that scene with the point and shoot is extremely offensive.

Corporates like YouTube censor based on reports, so it is the people you should blame.

There is no reason for YouTube to stand by your video when a report comes in, they will delete it if it break some sort of guideline written somewhere in the universe.

Press them for answers if you want to know why since that email is a generic response to any deletion, no need to drag Orwell into this.

Press who YouTube or the people?

Yes, it took two or more human idiots to delete, the flagster and the reviewer, and since this is idiocy by any common sense standard it is perfectly fine to poke some fun at it

Yes I wondered if it was you. When I first put it up I was a bit worried that showing the Sony Screen might be violating Sony copyright or giving away secret information to some foreign power either government or corporate.

YouTube and bartimus obviously

Don't they just have a mode where you can flag that it is NSFW and leave it there? That's the way flickr and other sites work.

That must be it!
I can see many people taking offense on p/s cameras

Would using unlicensed music be the cause? Or would fair use apply due to length?

is bathing together an 'ad-hoc' or 'official' event?

has the piggy been passed around during bathing?

If male group bathing is an official event, i would like to turn in my tpmg membership please! Lol

That is unbelievable that the video was banned, especially when you look at some of the other stuff out there!
