siga suspended Paul Hsieh 2009-08-16 | Normally I don't help Christian YouTube users for any reason, but this guy is a special case. I think it is important to support free speech and let this guy have his say. Sure some of it is ugly, and sure he takes his bible just a little too seriously, but he's got rights, and if we atheists want to show these theists how we can rise above them, then we need to show that we can support them as well.

What's your most "controversial" viewpoint (as far as general attitudes amongst other atheists go)? Q5. What scientific endeavor excites you the most? Q6.

Too hot for YouTube! Paul Hsieh 2007-02-18 | Angel XIII ( http://www.youtube.com/user/anangel13 ), does one of her most controvertial videos yet! Does she have copyright music in it? No! Does she have copyright pictures? No! Nudity? No! What did she do that got this video banned? Watch it and find out! This is one of Angel XIII's first videos, and YouTube pulled it for copyright infringement. Nobody knows why; no DMCA notice was cited. It seems they are trying to set her up as a "repeat offender" (like they did with Nick Gisburne) to get her off of YouTube, but based on no actual offence. Targetting Angel XIII makes absolutely no sense at all. Amongst the YouTube atheists, she has a medium sized subscriber base, and her videos are generally non-controvertial. I suspect the problem is that she's a strong willed woman who does not conform to typical religious-based social norms. And this is very threatening to the psyches of some believers who cannot accept women outside of their perceived roles for them in society. This is consistent with either another mass flagging campaign, or some bad actor inside of YouTube.

Re: Nick Gisburne account deleted Paul Hsieh 2007-02-09 | http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/request.py?contact_type=policy&submit=Continue The letter I sent: You have recently banned a very popular user named NickGisburne (previously Gisburne2000). I strongly disagree with your decision. I find this to be an extremely chilling action on the part of YouTube. Apparently, you found something offensive in his last video. I have reviewed the contents of this supposedly offensive video myself. It consists entirely of quotes from an english translation of the Qu'ran. I cannot otherwise conclude, therefore that this is a ban based on religious grounds. I find that to be extremely disturbing, as this kind of a policy will affect many thousands of YouTubers. From everything I know of him, and his side of the story, this is almost certainly an unjustified banning. The body of the work in his videos are not in anyway obscene and represent the views of a lot of us here on YouTube. In the past I have observed that individual videos have been banned, however, I cannot for the life of me understand why you would take away his entire account which contains so many other videos of valuable content. Some kind of "repeat offender" status on Nick also seems ridiculous as his infractions have never risen above the most minor (a copyright that was resolved?). I do not find your actions consistent with an entity interested in fostering trust in our community here. It pains me greatly that you could take this action which so clearly causes harm to it, and especially to someone as harmless and yet as valuable to the community as Nick clearly is. Your actions are also just clearly wrong on the face of it. I would respectly request that you simply restore his account, with a full explanation for why you banned his last video (with the ban on his last video, alone, at your discretion). The email you sent to Nick was clearly insufficient. Remember that we who make up the community, have other options at our disposal which include bringing attention of this action by YouTube to the media (something you must *KNOW* we have been searching for an excuse to do) and encouraging defections to other social video sites.
