We have found no explanation as to why, but it goes without saying that the highly trafficked video site makes money by delivering eyeballs to advertisers. The site did originally ban the video, but it reappeared shortly thereafter. Robin Thicke's uncensored, controversial, and arguably sexist video for "Blurred Lines" is right there, happily hosted by YouTube with over 10 million views and counting. They come with content warnings that read: "This video may be inappropriate for some users." The user then simply clicks a link and is brought to the uncensored underworld where bare breasts are allowed on your computer screen. YouTube has plenty of graphic videos of topless women that they are fully aware are hosted on their site. When did the internet get so prudish? Well, it hasn't really. Even the NYPD officers who appear in the video couldn't find anything wrong with what this woman and the photographer were doing (once they were out on the street, where women are allowed to go topless in NYC). For uploading videos, we simply used other YouTube accounts, or other platforms like Vimeo and Brightcove.Īccording to YouTube's Community Guidelines on "Sex and Nudity," nudity "is not allowed, particularly if it is in a sexual context." However, exceptions are made for "educational, documentary, scientific, and artistic content, but only if that is the sole purpose of the video and it is not gratuitously graphic."Īxing the 2010 video was understandable-it's essentially graphic amateur porn, even if we were posting it as part of our ongoing editorial commentary on subway etiquette.īut this week's topless woman video was decidedly tasteful, and done as part of a photography project. The suspension lasted a few months, and was mostly just annoying because you cannot get embed codes when your account is suspended. The others (two for the same video, described below) came in February of this year.
Our account was previously suspended after receiving three strikes from YouTube-the 1st came in 2010, when we uploaded a video of a man going down on a woman on the 5 train. Please be aware that you are prohibited from accessing, possessing or creating any other YouTube accounts." There was no way to reply to the robot that sent this notice, nor was there any warning. You may have to select a menu option or click a button.This week, we posted a video of a woman going topless at a rooftop bar for a photography art project, and in less than 24 hours we received an email from YouTube stating: "Your account has now been terminated.
