YouTube have banned me for 'hate speech', I think due to clips on Nazi policy featuring propaganda speeches by Nazi leaders. I'm devastated to have this claim levelled against me, and frustrated 15yrs of materials for #HistoryTeacher community have ended so abruptly.
@TeamYouTube
Having looked into what might have happened, I've found this blog post from YouTube published today. https://youtube.googleblog.com/2019/06/our-ongoing-work-to-tackle-hate.html … Reading this, though, I struggle to see how any of the videos on my channel fit their criteria for an outright ban.
I am so sorry. That is absolutely horrendous. And the worst part is that there is so much actual hate speech that they won’t remove. Your stuff is great!
That's awful! Our department loves your stuff! It's for educational purposes to support History teaching, can they not tell the difference?
Your website is for educational purposes purposes, used by many teachers internationally, so that they can teach set curriculums and specifications on Nazi Germany. The content you have on your site is all exam related materials and is information studied in textbooks etc?
Well that has just wrecked my day @MrAllsopHistory. I told you not so long ago about how my son learnt so much from your source video. I hope everything will be put back to normal because it’s not the same without you mate, chin up and come back stronger
Thank you Phil. I've been meaning to respond to your Tweet but was buried in exam marking so wanted to wait until that was clear first before I got back on Twitter. Sadly this has now happened and I needed to vent my upset and frustration. Really appreciate your support.
How terrible! Really sorry for you. What can I do to help?
How utterly ridiculous. A crazy decision that clearly shows little understanding of the importance of what you do. You can surely appeal?
Thank you, yes I have filed an appeal but I'm not sure of the process. There is no denying I have clips containing Nazi leaders speaking about the things they spoke about, but they're all couched in the context of a broad educational channel covering a huge range of topics.
This is awful- if there’s an appeal option etc do mobilise your Twitter fanbase, I reckon there’s lots who want to help!
Thank you Hugh. Yes, I have appealed but don't know how long such a review takes. I hope that they will review the channel as a whole and see the material in context, but not sure of their process. Really appreciate the messages of support.
