Are Abbott’s promises a scam? YouTube thinks so
It’s always nice to see Prime Minister Tony Abbott tweeting a new video message.
Admittedly, YouTube’s treatment of his video “Delivering on Our promises” is a tad unfortunate.
Update: A Youtube spokeswoman has told Dr Mumbo that the video was mistakenly taken down.
“Occasionally, a video flagged by users is mistakenly taken down. When this is brought to our attention, we quickly review the content and take appropriate action, including restoring videos or channels that had been removed,” said Youtube spokeswoman.

This isn’t a hoax, is it?

Its possible he might have been engaging black-hat social media optimization services. Thats pretty much an instant ban on any service since those ‘Buy 10000 subscribers for $600’ type companies almost always use stolen youtube/twitter/facebook accounts.
And its not like it isn’t the first time he’s been accused of it.

Did they take it down because the title should read; – Delivering on Our Broken Promises

We in the LNP think that Youtube is over funded and should be shut down
Actually, we are sure it was the ABC that took it down, damn those traitorous pinko spies working against us wanting to report the news to the Australian public.

So – did tech-savvy Textor have the alerts sent so the site would be pulled and thus generate click-interest (such as here at Mumbrella) for a boring pollie-waffle, or was it the Gen Naughties having fun? Double-double Psych!

It’s on the Internet so it has to be true.
Next step will be a Commission of Audit into YouTube.

Lefties all over Australia are frothing at the mouth because of this technical glitch — It’s will probably be reinstated shortly.

Clearly free speech is only available to leftards.
It’s obvious that an orchestrated campaign was used to get the site blocked.
The same thing was done with complaints that Lib MPs & supporters Facebook accounts were fake, leading to increased login procedures for some time until Facebook were told that they were being played by Leftist activists.
How on earth do these self-righteous left wits justify their anti-democratic behaviour ?

Nah Zed. Just shaking our collective heads at the neo-con tech-wads. Oh … and a hint of a smile. Next election … Unlike.

A small Wimbledon clap for JohnB for being the first with the left-wing conspiracy theory. There’s nothing like empirical evidence based on “it’s obvious”.

Seems like a fair thing to me. It is clearly a scam (ie lies), spam (there’s already enough drivel on youTube), and definitely misleading. I may be a leftard and the reich-wingers will no doubt stamp their jack-booted feet… but it TOTALLY meets the criteria.

Very embarrassing for Google/Youtube to be manipulated like that by political activists / sore losers. You can bet they’ll be recalibrating furiously.

So Mike, hat would be Google Youtube manipulating their own system. Sounds fair to me. I guess they don’t want to be in line directly behind the ABC.

LoL at you all it was taken down to disable comments as there are so many Leftist activists fools making unfounded comments. It’s not Spam to state a fact as our Great PM has.

Not a Leftie or a Rightie. Don’t even know what they are. Just someone who is utterly sick of the lies, manipulations and broken promises of Tony Abbott & his cronies. Ashamed to be Australian now! Appalled at Foreign policies! First thing I’ve liked about You Tube in blocking Abbotts lies.

Hey Jen you must be a leftist greenie, socialist, boat peoplist, save the sharks activist, am I close?

Sorry Jen and others …Mister Abbott was not “blocked”. The only change was all the “Comments” removed and disabled …. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFZ4LP1feqQ&list=UUz2o9DUfhVyezuJakMwG3Ag&feature=c4-overview

This action by YouTube removing Abbott’s channel (since restored) just goes to show how you leftist toe-rags cannot tolerate the truth when it is staring you in the face! You stoop to any dirty low tricks to bolster your pathetic egos and defend the indefensible – your soppy socialist Marxist values, so typified by the corrupt unions and the corrupter Labor Party. You are beyond pathetic!

Actually, Cleisthenes, since the various leftist sites on Facebook continually block dissenting opinion, and since the false reporting of Lib parliamentarians and Lib supporters led to login problems (and it was done to me as well) it is clear that some activists are using these tactics.
There may be some right wing nutters doing similar too, however it’s quite obvious that the leftards are far more orchestrated in their efforts.

Oh I see JohnB. In the absence of evidence you are assuming that this is the work of ‘leftards’. If so, then they seem to have learnt well from the right wing nutters by adopting their tactics. What goes around comes around.

I didn’t even know that Youtube was run by bikie gangs.

Obviously YouTube has now been firmly put in the ‘lefty’ corner by the LNP, along with the ABC, Guardian, Fairfax, SBS and ANYONE else who remotely criticises their policies. (Generally neutral credible sources…)
