YouTube Pulls Apple Employee Video for “Depicting Harmful Activities”

I believe if more than n people flag a video as inappropriate, it gets automatically pulled (where n is some unacceptably small number).

This doesn't seem like malice on the part of Google or Youtube - more like the standard douchebaggery that you see infesting the youtube comment pages.

It's back up, with comments disabled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWYqsaJk_U8

And it's a very well made video.

Here is a mirror of the video http://vimeo.com/22474499

Recently I reported a YouTube video that explicitly shows a murder. The video (and multiple copies of it) is still online. This video made the headlines in portuguese 'populist' media. It is really disgusting and I think that Google should really make this a top priority -- not promoting this explicit and real violence. What should I do to get Google's attention?

At a guess, this was due to one of the employees who talked about one of his suicide attempts when he was young. If so, it's somewhat akin to banning an anti-suicide video for showing the consequences of such an action.

A number of loonies made a campaign for youngsters saying: "do not believe others, being gay is not an option if you want to be a christian, you can be cured". This may be normal in some other countries but in Finland this kind of advertisement and attacks in Gay Pride is a quite new thing. I'm very happy Apple made this and I hope it helps some youngsters who are unhappy about themselves and what they are.

The video is still up, http://www.itgetsbetter.org/#iWYqsaJk_U8

These videos are notorious for being flagged by conservative types. It will be overridden and reenabled soon enough.
