1. Censorship on the internet has begun

2. Sad.

The Egyptian police need to be collectively hung. That is not a metaphor.

4. Youtube routinely bends to pressure...

...exactly where it comes from, I don't know, but this is not a rare occurrence there.

5. I expected this type thing when Youtube...

was bought by google. Is there an alternative site for videos?

8. Offensive?

Reality and truth are often offensive to a person of conscience. If youtube is suspending accounts due to offensive content, they should suspend the accounts of all those posting videos that are pornographic in nature. There have been numerous times when I've done a search and several of the options that are shown are obviously of scantily dressed young ladies. We should be outraged and offended by the reality of police brutality and are denied the knowledge of reality and truth when it is censored from being seen.

9. Tyranny knows no bounds...

DU?
