YouTube calls Abbott a liar, terminates account

OMG. I thought this was a joke when I started reading about it. People posting things around the place, me wondering WTF they're on about. Well let me fill you in on this little beauty! Just a note right here and now, this isn't a joke.

OK, so Abbott puts out this video called "Delivering on our promises". Ack, here it is. I can't watch him I hate him too much:



But then something strange happened.....YouTube decided the video was deceptive. They took the video down. The taken down video was still there (embarrassingly) on his Twitter feed. Here is a screen shoot being shared around from his Twitter feed:

Well by this time I guess the computer geniuses in the Abbott ranks would have been on the ball and sorted it all out with YouTube right away. Or were they....... Yep, you guessed it, YouTube then proceeded to take down his whole YouTube account. And they did. Here is the screen shoot of that being shared around as I type:

Yes folks, the Prime Minister of Australia had his entire YouTube account terminated for being deceptive. YouTube explains decisions to take such action as not automatic but actual people making actual decisions about the video and it's infringement.

"When a video gets flagged as inappropriate, we review the video to determine whether it violates our Terms of Use—flagged videos are not automatically taken down by the system. If we remove your video after reviewing it, you can assume that we removed it purposefully, and you should take our warning notification seriously." more

BTW the account's back up now :s  *falls off chair laughing* Take a look at how few people are watching them :)
