The YouTube user experience continues to downgrade with the removal of a 19yr old's solo dancehall videos.
Though no naughty bits showed, the Jenny Kendrick's cocking buttocks and swaying legs proved too much for YouTube users. They flagged the videos as inappropriate so many times, Jenny's account and videos were removed.
And shortly after Wired wrote about Michael Sullivan’s Sex Life of Robots, a film the artist likens to a “silent robot porno movie from another planet,” YouTube pulled the preview video from their site.

How about YouTube get rid of something ACTUALLY OFFENSIVE for a change? Maybe like the numerous racist videos/accounts plaguing the site like a cancer... I guess since you can't file suit for racism those vids will remain viewable to offend everyone(as long as there no ass-shaking or robot nipples).

I'm sure there's lots of violence which is accepted, but not sexuality.

Apparently it's a very fine line on what it pulled for being inappropriate. I had 2 videos of topless animated angels flying from a certain distances that weren't pulled but when I uploaded a video that got too close up on them that's when it got pulled so I guess it's not an absolute on nudity, it's in the judgement of the people complaining that is the problem. Too Offensive is in the eye of the beholder and they get to force their opinions on others.

Well, now YouTube and Current have something in common. Censoring content.

Well as with everything YouTube is very inconsistent with what they censor. This one shows more nudity then the booty shaking video and it was missed.

I guess it depends on what reason the content was censored, and whether or not you agree with it. Quality, Politics, Copyright, Nudity and the degree it offends are all judgement calls, it's just who gets to decide and who forces that judgement on others. -

So much for the "downgraded YT experience". Stuff like this happens when you've recently surpassed Google as the second most visited website on the entire Internet worldwide.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled downgraded Current TV experience.
