YouTube is blocking nearly all anti-Scientology content
ORIGINAL STORY HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM DIGG
2/12/2008 - We feel obliged to uncover this as it's one of the most extreme manifestations of internet-censorship we've witnessed to date.
Right after the international anti-Scientology protests of February 10th, YouTube has been blocking nearly all Scientology-related videos from getting to its 'Videos' front page. The anti-Scientology protests were one of the biggest displays of internet-activism to date, and it's saddening to see that such a massive worldwide event that normally would have dominated YouTube's entire 'Videos' front page was completely silenced and covered up by the biggest video website online, leading mainstream media and internet users to believe that the event was a total failure or didn't even take place. YouTube has now stated there's simply an issue with their servers, but this would be an extremely unlikely coincidence.
