[Imc-uk-features] 'censorship' WAS: THIS IS VERY URGENT!!!

[jagmad at riseup.net]

You getting on your high horse, and wrongly ascribing to me the intention
of publishing on YouTube, does not demonstrate any responsibility on your
part.

May I remind you than my video first appeared in the Newswire, was
promoted, someone reposted it to YouTube without my knowledge, and THEN
was first unticked, without informing me first, and subsequently removed
from the server. So where was the need for speed in this case? There was
plenty of time when it first appeared to contact me, even before it was
promoted. Let me guess, the need for speed only occurred AFTER a certain
member of admin suddenly felt vulnerable and complained.

As for incriminating material, what could be more incriminating that two
police videographers present before, during, and after I was filming? Not
only did they get the two demonstrators but they also got me, not that
anyone seems to care about the safety and concerns of contributers on this
particular IMC.
