It seems youtube is removing some of Richard Dawkins' videos, specially the long ones. Others are being shortened, clipped, edited, etc.

The problem may originate from Christians and Muslims who are flagging these videos as offensive. Either that, or the producers of this video complained to youtube due to copyright violations.

Let's hope it was copyright violations. They haven't removed the blasphemy challenge, have they?

Attempts are being made at removing it, and they are also trying to censor the RationalResponders website.

They won't succeed though. Very unlikely.

Youtube policy:
We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech which contains slurs or the malicious use of stereotypes intended to attack or demean a particular gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or nationality.


With pages and pages of results for Dawkins, I don't see the censorship you seem to see.


Could you be more specific?

Probably copyright censorship. I had an interview with hulk hogan from 1985 removed yesterday, talk about petty.

What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a pink shirt before?
