youtube is suck !! they just care a bout sex & lesbians video !!!

Well, the message from youtube is that waelabbas violated their terms of use.

This is actually true if you take a look at it. It states that content should follow the community guidelines[1]. In these community guidelines, there is this statement saying "Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your video shows someone getting hurt, attacked, or humiliated, don't post it."

This actually means that any video aimed at displaying state violence or torture against civilians will eventually be removed.

Simply, this means that YouTube is NOT the proper tool for this job. And Waelabbas and others posting similar content, should look for a websites, that don't have similar terms. Or a website that is activist friendly, something similar to Indymedia or others.

Brian Whitaker mentioned this and your post.
Some poeple are suggesting that video's should be posted in some proposed AmnestyTube.

Amensty's!
Who looks at Amnesty's site or videos?

Not the occasional surfer who thought of looking for clips on his next vacation spot.
Not the average Egyptian who didn't know anything - or didn't want to - about torture and who was just seeing what YouTube has on his country.
Only hardcore activists look at Amnesty's; and even then only some of them.

As for Islamists shooting tourists; while I don't have a reason to say videos dipicting these happenings shouldn't be on any given video service, I can't find a purpose for it! The actions are already condemned, and their commiters are considered renegades and prosecuted by law-enforcement. News stations lap after these clips.

On the other hand, going against the government and against those who should protect you - when you have to - is what needs this medium the most. Specially when a considerable sector of the population refused to acknowledge that this could merely happen, and with a local media that is so timid as to be the first to air such a clipping.

انا مصرى بدبى وبكره مصر الله يحرقها بس برضه معاك يا وائل لانك راجل واعزرنى على اسلوبى بس لانى طهقان بجد حسبى له ونعم الوكيل

امر محزن جدا يا استاذ وائل بان تقوم تلك الشركات التي تنتمي الي العالم الديمقراطي بهذا الفعل الذي يدعو الي عدم الثقه في اي طرف وخصوصا في ظل هذا العالم المعقد والتوازنات والمصالح المتبادله ولكن هل تاكدت من السبب , عموما يمكن التحرك في عدة اتجاهات اولا : محاوله ليجاد بديل لموقع يوتوب للرفع وان يكون اثنان وليس واحد ثانيا : محاوله الاتصال ببعض الصحف الامريكيه وفضح ذلك الامر للراي العام الامريكي .

we all support your activity against the corupted system in Egypt, if you tube insist on baning your clips I and I beleive many of the free people who suffered from the Egyptian regim will also stop log to You tube forever as we repect that site . we all support you for repost your videoclip again.
