This is the second in a series of videos on YouTubes Terms of Service. This series is primarily in response to the YourTubeAdvocates (Number 20) videos.

My videos on TOS may also help explain why people were quick to jump on YouTube for the suspension of James Randi. Mr. Randi gently chastised some of us for getting on YouTubes case, and this series of videos gives a partial explanation of why many are unwilling to give YouTube the benefit of the doubt.

Part of that suspicion stems from past actions of YouTube, and part of it comes from their lack of communication with us about these matters. They make it very difficult for the average YouTuber to communicate with them if their video has been wrongfully removed.

From the community guidelines:

we do not permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status and sexual orientation/gender .
If you click on the link for Community Guideline tips you get further clarification:
"Hate speech" refers to content that promotes hatred against members of a protected group. For instance, racist or sexist content may be considered hate speech. Sometimes there is a fine line between what is and what is not considered hate speech. For instance, it is generally okay to criticize a nation, but not okay to make insulting generalizations about people of a particular nationality.
What is a religion: Is Scientology a religion? Many observers have concluded that Scientology is a cult or a bait and switch scheme that lures unsuspecting suckers in with promises of helping them achieve success and mastery while hiding the fact that their philosophy is based on a rather bizarre belief about the evil Galactic Lord Xenu. They dont reveal this core belief to recruits until they have been exposed to years of brainwashing and spent thousands of dollars on Scientology courses.
What is to safeguard the accounts of Scientologys critics?
How about those who say that those who follow of Islam worship a religion whose prophet is a pedophile. Should they be protected?
