    All the Silicone Valley Tech giants ie Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Google & U-Tube etc. have decided who and who can't be on their platforms .... Thy may feel Honoring Veterans is more likely a Republican and or Conservative thing ...... imho .... Mike

    The YouTube action was not SL's doing. The videos are gone.

    Most of us here totally appreciate the service of our Veterans.

    Discussion of the why's and wherefores of YouTubes actions will take us to that political place. Let's not go there.

    Is a alternative to Twitter & Parler. Gab is having some trouble right now due to the massive growth they are seeing. They say they ore adding servers as fast as the can. Also say they own their own servers so they cant be controlled or shut down by another company, and they are based in Pennsylvania

    I guess I should have been more explicit. I understand the 'politics' of the decision. I don't think anyone who reads this website doesn't know that.

    My real question was about the actual videos regarding our veterans. I assume some of y'all actually saw the videos. I did not. They were gone by the time I tried to view them.

    So, restating my original question:

    Did any of you see anything that was objectionable in those vids?

    Everyone missed the point of the removal. The video were placed on you-tube as temporary to begin with and the person that posted them knew that. When the video was removed the post here was edited to show that you-tube had removed the video so you would not waste your time trying to connect to something that was not there any more. A you-tube video will not stay up forever depending on your account with them. So no they are not the bad guy in this and there was nothing wrong with the video, I saw them. You-tube time just ran out.

    Thank you very much, once again. I hope you at least put to rest anymore conspiracy theories.
