Free Speech Shut Down On You-Tube
#1
Recently Google+ took over You-Tube and shut down the comments section. In order to function on the You-Tube video site you are now forced to sign-on to the Google+ social media site. The site prompts you to use your real name instead of the common monikers most users use. In fact when You-Tube first formed it asked users to not use their real name. The result is the comments section has nearly been shut down. Instead of the excellent level of free speech previously seen in the comments sections of videos you now see a vapid teenage girl social media website level of conversation. I saw a poster say this was done because the number one complaint about You-Tube was the "trolls" abusing the comments section. I take that in the same light as the Chinese and American governments saying 'subversives' were disrupting society. You know, like those trouble-makers who think CIA killed JFK.

After I was forced to make a Google+ account I did not want or need I have been unable to comment on You-Tube even though I created a Google+ account. When I try to comment I get a gold framed box that says "opening" and never opens. Both You-Tube and Google provide no customer support for problems like this. You literally cannot contact them. Even though You-Tube and Google are private enterprizes I'm pretty sure they violated some kind of consumer protection law by doing this. I have no doubt there's some government tricky business behind this because You-Tube was becoming a good outlet for free speech and exposure of government corruption. It wasn't controllable by the usual Mockingbird means and was probably becoming a threat to the national security surveillance state. Some people say Google did it in order to get quick numbers for advertizing clout, however the cold hand of intel is obvious with this one.

Time to flush them down the toilet and form a new You-Tube. You are the product and you've just been sold.
