Russia Today suspended and Alex Jones threatened to be removed also.
[RT is back on You Tube today and I only saw this mentioned on other You Tube channels and 4Chan]_dogcicle
I just found this
RT's main YouTube channel was suspended for about eight hours, returning online about 2 p.m. Moscow time (
10:00 GMT). YouTube chalked up to the temporary blackout to a "technical mistake."
During
the temporary suspension, anyone who attempted to access RT's main
YouTube channel was greeted with a startling message: "This channel has
been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy
against spam, scans, and commercially deceptive content."
During the temporary blackout, all of the content on our main YouTube channel was inaccessible.
RT's YouTube account manager has confirmed it was the YouTube team's mistake, and they have since apologized for the incident.
RT's web promotion chief particularly stressed RT has not violated YouTube's terms of service in any way, shape or form.
"There
have been no copyright or community guideline violations on our part
which could result in this kind of measures," he said.
RT is the most
popular of all the news broadcasters present on YouTube, having racked
up about 700 million views and 275 thousand subscribers since the
channel's inception.
RT has a long-running relationship with YouTube
and Google, and its channels are part of YouTube's Premium Partnership
program. This is the first such incident in the history of our close
partnership.
In 2007, RT became the first Russian media outlet to
open its channel on YouTube. In 2009, RT pioneered the use of YouTube's
Content ID program in Russia.
YouTube's director of video partnerships Patrick Walker had previously lauded his company's relationship with RT.
"RT is our trump card, one of the, if not the biggest news provider on YouTube worldwide," he told the MIPCOM 2011 conference.
The
blackout sparked frenzy among RT viewers around the world attempting to
access the channel and provoked speculation it had been intentionally
taken down.
Viewers speculated that everything from censorship to a
hacker attack could have been behind the incident. Some of them said
this is "ACTA in action", while others focused on the timing, which
coincided with an NYPD crackdown on an OWS protest in New York which was
being covered by the channel.
