@sbergman27 I find it humorous that you take Godwin's Law seriously. But at any rate, there are plenty of examples out there- It's surprising that you haven't stumbled on one yet.

@sbergman27 I don't want to site Godwin's Law. You're so dead set on my siting this law that I'm starting to second guess your real intentions. I think you're looking for amusement. Not that I feel I have to back up my accusations in a forum like Youtube, but purely out of the niceness of my heart and so you know that I'm not making things up, here is a video someone made in response to the video that was removed: /watch?v=9OJqohtFy1U

@sbergman27 In hindsight, "fascists" might have been too harsh of a word. What happened happened and there's always room for improvement.

Google is testing the waters of fascism. Just as an example, how many of you know someone who has had their video deleted because of content Google felt wasn't appropriate. Are they an indexing service or a fascist organization? It's sad but true: money corrupts all good things.

@sbergman27 Firstly, If you want a serious debate join a serious forum, it's not going to happen here on youtube. It's clear to me that you're searching for a serious discussion, just look at your syntax- encapsulating my comments in quotes followed by your response. I know the type. But this is hardly the place for serious debate. I mean, there's a character limit & I'm not taking you seriously. I gave you ample evidence that you chose to ignore. Your call. Why should I even bother with you?

@sbergman27 You were questioning whether or not I was legitimate, so I give you an example, now you ask if that's the best I can do? I feel like I'm on trial here. Stop treating this like a debate. We're on Youtube. And stop defending Google. No one is questioning all the good they've done. No one ever does. But Google does limit human choice, and any attempt to limit human choice will lead inevitably to the necessity of fascist state. That's been proven throughout history.

@sbergman27 Nice quote by Mr. Sagan. I guess I fulfilled the extraordinary claim part. So what kind of evidence would you deem extraordinary? I'm pretty sure I presented unquestionable evidence of a video that was wrongfully accused of hate speech and removed by Google due to a weak flagging system. What are you missing? There are many examples out there. I'm convinced of that. You, however, are not. For you, It's a personal problem.

@sbergman27 You do realize that all I have to do to satisfy your request is go to Wiki, copy Godwin's Law and paste it on here, right? Do you have trust issues? Anyway... But as for your second request, what do you want me to do, point you to a video that doesn't exist? The person who's video was deleted was accused of hate speech by Google, so they deleted his content.

@sbergman27 Before you mentioned it, I was unfamiliar with "Godwin's Law", so did a quick lookup on Wiki. So rest assured, I know what you're talking about. Although you haven't noticed Google deleting material other than to comply with their legal responsibilities, which is just a bunch of hogwash, I've noticed Google abuse its power by deleting perfectly good videos under the guise of "complying with their legal responsibilities". I'm talking about censoring content here. It wasn't my video

@sbergman27 I don't want to site Godwin's Law. I really don't know you or your intentions, but I get the feeling that if I site this ridiculous law, which isn't even a law, you're just going to follow with more ridicule. Are you looking to be amused? I'm starting to ask myself why you want me to site it so badly. Seriously though, this never was a debate. I don't have to back up my accusations to you because I believe what I said, and as far as I'm concerned, I'm the only one who matters.

@sbergman27 I agree with you on the Lazarus Long quote in reference to Google. Stupidity! I would say that stupidity has the potential to be as harmful as fascism, no? They're making a huge stupid mistake by giving the average content viewer the power to flag and remove videos at a whim, that's is tantamount to my earlier claim. There's definitely room for improvement. The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power. ~William Shakespeare

Well, I never said you couldn't have quality conversation on YT, but for serious debate it's probably not the best forum. There's no question to me that YT both supersedes and transcends television in every way, except for one very important way, they also censor content that has earned it's right to be here. The flagging system is a joke. You saw the example. You seem like an intelligent person, but I think you're in denial if you're telling yourself that Google isn't fascist.
