YOUTUBE PULLS PLUG ON CHRISTIAN VIDEOSYears of work, hundreds of projects vanishPublished: 2 days agoBy Michael ThompsonWASHINGTON – The author of a soon-to-be-released book on Christian apologetics, “The Magic Man in the Sky: Effectively Defending the Christian Faith,†is questioning the motives behind the termination of the immensely popular PPSimmons Ministry account on YouTube.Where once one of the more popular God and more popular God and Country YouTube Channels – with more than 23,000 subscribers, 530-plus videos and 21 million views – could be accessed, now a barren page is found, save for a message. The message reads: “This account has been terminated due to repeated or severe violations of our Community Guidelines and/or claims of copyright infringement.â€For Pastor Carl Gallups, one of the people behind the popular PPSimmons YouTube Ministry, seeing a channel disabled he has worked tirelessly to build and promote since 2009 was devastating.“It was as if you have a thriving business and you came to work one day and the building was burnt down and everything you had created was gone. Instantly,†he told WND.Gallups, whose “The Magic Man in the Sky: Effectively Defending the Christian Faith,†will be released May 15, was one of the original founders of the PPSimmons Ministry on YouTube.Through his involvement with producing and recording more than 530 videos, Gallups was once named “Worst People in the World†by Keith Olbermann on his now-defunct MSNBC show. Videos from the PPSimmons YouTube channel were featured on CNN, “The Rachel Maddow Show†and Fox News.The PPSimmons site was known for producing videos on biblical commentary, startling biblical revelations and, perhaps most controversially, political revelations concerning Barack Obama and his birth certificate.
Somehow this will be transformed into a conservative war on women.
More like a conservative war on Christianity. There has to be a reason they pulled it, they don't just pull videos for no reason. I am wondering if copyright issues were part of it?
If they produced all their own material for the youtube account then nothing would be amiss there. However, some videos are pulled because they use copyrighted background music without permission (a mistake that is made frequently, and rarely with malicious intent). This is a common reason for pulling the videos, and enough strikes gets the account terminated. This is just speculation on my part of course.
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
This is why things such as Conservopedia, Fox News, and other such things are created. Liberals don't want opposing viewpoints heard. Then, they turn around and bitch when those things become successful.
I'm curious, is the claim that YouTube is a liberal organization that unfairly targeted PPSimmons?
Might wanna introduce yourself over in the appropriate thread before you engage in too much conversation. It's the polite thing to do.
