*YOUTUBE CONCEDES ERROR IN BANNING AMERICAN LIFE LEAGUE'S PRO-LIFE VIDEO*
/Censored Video Restored After Objections from Pro-Life Media and
Supporters/
*Washington, D.C. (14 February 2008)* -- After numerous articles and
pressure from Catholic and online media, Google-sponsored YouTube cited
a "technical malfunction" as the reason American Life League's pro-life
video was censored by YouTube staff.
"Once word got out that YouTube had allowed the Planned Parenthood ads
our report was based on to remain on their site, while at the same time
censoring our report, a flurry of e-mails, blog posts, and complaints
from the pro-life community pressured YouTube into reversing their
decision," said Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League.
The original notification e-mail sent to American Life League by YouTube
reads, "After being flagged by members of the YouTube community and
reviewed by YouTube staff, the video below has been removed due to its
inappropriate nature."
Three days later, American Life League received a second e-mail that said:
/"This email is to inform you that a video was recently removed from
your account due to a technical malfunction. The issue has since been
remedied and we appologize (sic) for any inconvenience or distress this
may have caused. The following video(s) have been reinstated and your
account has not been penalized."///
According to YouTube's user guide:
/"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."///
Praising the YouTube decision, Sedlak commented "We are pleased that
YouTube has reversed their decision to remove our video. Our ALL News
Report was neither objectionable nor inappropriate. While it is
unfortunate that YouTube chose this tactic in the first place, it is
encouraging to note that they corrected their poor decision in a timely
fashion."
