    Last weekend I started hiding my gun videos on YouTube. I wanted to be sure of the policy before doing something permanent. This weekend, I'm deleting them. I got a message today on the Video Manager that YouTube has deleted videos. I'm not sure which ones.

    "Bloke on the Range" has had his channel terminated.

    BotR is a super-tame gun channel about range shooting in Switzerland. Apparently his channel has been found to be against "community standards", and shut down without warning.

    Can’t have any Europeans who like guns. Because everyone in Europ is sensible about such things.

    [STRIKE][/STRIKE]And I like how they claim (FB too) that they need to ban because the content isnt appropriate in all countries. Uhhh... Flag it. They already have the ability to restrict content by country or region. Granted with a VPN you can get around those, but still. They dont have to ban as there are already mechanisms in place to control where content can be viewed. But we all know its just an excuse to make the [STRIKE]bad[/STRIKE] evil guns go away.
