YouTube announced this week that it will soon begin taking down videos that violate its new policies on gun-related content. It will bar not just explicit sales of certain weapons but also videos that present "instructions on manufacturing a firearm, ammunition, high capacity magazine, homemade silencers/suppressors, or certain firearms accessories such as those listed above. This also includes instructions on how to convert a firearm to automatic or simulated automatic firing capabilities."

Youtube has gone wonky lately; this is a video from the 1960s Smothers Brothers TV show showing Jefferson Airplane playing "White Rabbit":

Yup - they added an age-restriction to a popular song! Here's a non-age-restricted copy (warning adult content! Ha - just kidding):

Wankers.
Google owns Youtube. I've had an account on Vimeo for a few years - much more reasonable terms of service. Have also been using Bing for more of my net searches lately - will do that even more. Will also try duckduckgo, which I hadn't considered before.

I don't use Google, and now I won't use YouTube. Citigroup, and others are also virtue signaling with anti legal gun policies. Efff them all.

I use Bing exclusively. I’ll have to try DuckDuckGo.
I saw some mention that Hickok45 - one of the best gun sites on YouTube - was taken down, but I did find his videos last night.
