Over the weekend Abbott released a video titled A Message from the PM - Delivering on Our Promises . In the clip Mr Abbott describes a growing national confidence and promises to "scrap the carbon tax, end the waste and get the budget under control". "From talking to people around our country, my sense is that confidence is returning," he says. He claims the Federal Government has made "big progress in border protection" and boasts last month was the first since 2009 that has "gone without the arrival of a single illegal boat". "The people smugglers are finally getting the message that this country is under new management," Mr Abbott says. "It's been a remarkable turnaround in only a few months. Our policies are working." But it seems others see it differently. Soon after it was released, the Prime Minister's video was suspended by YouTube after social media users claimed it contained 'deceptive content'. YouTube's guidelines state videos are reviewed when "a video gets flagged as inappropriate". YouTube then suspended Mr Abbott's entire account.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]YouTube's guidelines state: "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."[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.news.com.au/technology/online/youtube-suspends-prime-minister-tony-abbotts-youtube-account/story-fn5j66db-1226816451591"]source[/URL]
I think it was an appropriate reason.
Smartest decision YT has done possibly ever.
but over the weekend a glitch on video site YouTube = some jokers flagging his videos for a laff :v:
"...spams, scams, and commercially deceptive content." Holy shit. That's perfect.
We need to stop the Tubes
For once Youtube's retarded reporting policies are being used one someone worthy of such dirty tactics.
So you mean he wasn't a Nigerian Princess?
