This channel is about the irritation about the "suspension" of anticonsumer`s channel by YouTube. I don`t know (by now) why they did it so, but I assume that it was about the critical lectures or interviews he posted (about well known consumerism-critical intellectuals as Noam Chomsky, Slovoj Zizek, Neil Postman...). So I decided to re-upload some of the stuff I downloaded (it`s by far only a fraction), because that`s not an acceptable way to deal with dissenting opinions in a democracy. Google (the YouTube-owner) says as a company motto "Don`t be evil!", but that was for sure an aggressive assault on free speech and freedom of opinion. In the v-log box there is an interview with google-ceo Eric Schmidt where he tells his views on the effect on democracy by the internet. Unfortunately he only mentioned the attempts of authoritarian regimes like China to suppress dissenting opinions, but he forgot to mention the dangers that come from the media concentration...
...and the strong market power of companies (like google) that probably care most about their big-business advertising clients. In another interview Schmidt mentioned a need for an "informed electorate" for a functioning democracy. Well, Mr. Schmidt, why don`t you practice a bit more what you preach by not suspending critical account (such as mine). Possible that I`m wrong with my suspicions, but just watch the featured video by parispeter2. He explains quite clearly what has happened, what the problem is about that and what YOU dear YouTube user can do about it! So go out there and ask the questions that are so crucial for a lively free society!!! ...

Intereses y aficiones: ...Or as Rosa Luxemburg put it about 100 years ago: *Freiheit ist immer die Freiheit der Andersdenkenden.* (Freedom is always the freedom of those who differ in their views). And dear google/YouTube: Critical thinking won`t destroy your market hegemony anyway. So maybe you acquire the greatness of a medieval king and just tolerate critical thinking as back then the nobility had court jester (for their amusement). At least you could point out why (!!!) you acted like that...
Películas y espectáculos: ...To the others: If you have Videos that fit to this channel send me the link and I`ll add them as favourites. If you know interesting channels just do the same and I`ll subscribe to them. I`m also always interested in links to interesting sides apart from YouTube too! But the most important thing is that you DOWNLOAD the critical videos (which is quite easy by using e.g. download-helper (just google for it)) and repost them (if this channel gets also suspended)!!! ...
Música: ...anticonsumer send me this message with links in the days he still was on YouTube: *hi, if you enjoyed the content on my channel you may find these sites interesting: hypertext disgruntledmass dot v2 dot nl, hypertext wubyawubyawubya dot mp3 dot internationalsocialists dot oorg, they are mostly discussions on politics and philosophy (lots of chomsky lectures too) cheers*...
Libros: ...And finally about me: I`m for sure no intellectual and I don`t want to pretend to be sth like that. I probably lack of intellect and knowlege and experience of life(at least compared to the people that I try to present on this channel) and so of cause I don`t have a proper, elaborate overview how the world works. But I think YOU (as I) need the whole panorama of points of view to form your an own, thought-out opinion! Best wishes, your ProFreeSpeech.

Can't you get any more of anticonsumer's old vids? Surley this can't be it?

There's no such thing as moral obligation to corporations. Of course everyone has a moral obligation to do the right thing, but why would a corporation when by law they are required to only care about their bottom line?
blaynestaley (hace 1 año)
It's useless to talk about any kind of obligation YouTube has to allow suspended channels. If a channel that supports a view that undermines it's bottom line gets suspended, is that surprising at all? Of course they don't want dissenting voices heard. Unless they can give another reason for the suspensions, unless somehow we can find out the reason, there's no other sensible reason. But do they really think these dissenting channels have a real influence on people? I hope mine does...

Latest news:

I just noticed that "cybertariat" (another YouTube-Channel which provided interesting, provocative videos by Noam Chomsky,... like"anticonsumer") got suspended!!!

Dear hillerm,

I didn`t say anything about a "legal obligation" of YouTube. I said: "I think they have also a moral obligation and that`s no question of formal legal rights". Just read my reply again...
