i think its pretty exciting that they picked blip over youtube
i also lived with a mother and the consequences of how she treated me
because HER father sat in the gulag for 8 yrs because he made a joke about
stalin
so yeah, free speech and yeah, capitalism (yes, i am using hyperbole for the

Here's an opportunity to improve the quality of discourse; show 'em there's
better stuff going on @ Blip than @ YouRube [sic].

I don't speak up much here, and have to incriminate myself as one of Quirk's
friends from the start - but have to say I almost precisely agree. (as long
as speaker's corner exists in the UK, I can't condemn it). We all have the
right to say what we want, where we want, when we want - as Americans.
Censorship means THE GOVERNMENT shuts down your speech. A business has no

speech policies in video hosting services is a worthy thing, but if blip

I have to assume most Americans are as disgusted by this thread as I am.
Having seen and heard and been influenced by European ideas of speech
laws, it fucking sickens me to see discussion of banning or censoring
certain points of view.
I don't give a fuck if John McCain says that liberal
Just to be clear: I don't necessarily endorse EU-style hate speech laws.
However, I do endorse discussing them.

I agree with you Michael, it's a total shame McCain and his terrible
ads are on a service we love. BOO. I was upset when I saw the
blip.tv player on McCain' website. :(
Yet I totally disagree with your call to ask or expect blip.tv to
take the videos down. That would be a kind of
When I noticed this a few months ago, I thought to myself, how awesome
that Blip is in control of McCain's message - perhaps we could get
Mike and Dina drunk one night at the office and pull an October
surprise: Oops! Delete. (hickup).
But seriously, if it's legal, it should of be allowed.

Your definition of censorship must be entirely different than Cambridge's
then:

This isn't even a slippery slope anymore, it's a full on landslide of
muzzling the opposing viewpoint. I just don't understand why anyone would

I hope we can discuss this loudly and with lots of hand gestures next time I

I'm so glad that people finally spoke up about the whole free speech thing!
I was catching up on my emails this morning, and was a little shocked by
peoples' condemnation of blip.
Glad everyone's settled back into a big hug sort of thing.
One thing I learned from hanging out with the EFF:
Must. Not. Censor. Let blip gain market share and follow clever Jay - this
stuff can be used to promote whatever agenda you believe in.
I support anyone's right to use blip's service and do not see that as an
indictment of blip whatsoever.
Use the tools. Mash it up. Leave comments. Have fun with
First of all, Michael is no troll.
I was very fortunate to meet him at vlog europe in Italy, and he's one of
the cleverest, funniest, and most entertaining people I've ever met.
As for my opinion, I would have to disagree with my friend, in that I
believe blip should allow the videos - I don't
I'm also a 'stakeholder' by that regard and I am for McCain. I wouldn't
call Obama, nor his campaign, a thug, no do I consider McCain, nor his
campaign to be a thug. We learn by seeing all the viewpoints and I wouldn't
want Obama's speech hampered in any way. How can I be proud to win if it
Well, we have no idea what happened behind closed doors between Blip.tv and
the McCain campaign. They very well might be making a boat-load. Which
would be great! :-)
But as far as offensive political content goes, I recently uploaded a video
that equated watching the Republican National
Terms of Use and elsewhere on the Blip.tv website, the following
content is prohibited on
Blip.tv:
If you see a video that specifically violates the Blip terms of service,
bring it to the attention of people at Blip, not the hundreds (thousands?)
of people here who don't work there.

Maybe, but they shouldn't be censored for any of it. Free speech is free
speech.

Well this sounds like you should be emailing them directly with the
offending clips. You know they will answer back quickly.
Unless the idea is to just throw the perceived problem out into the public
without finding out how blip.tv thinks about it. Things have been handled
that way before, but

Ok final call. I thought that since Blip is part of the community this would be
the place to
have a discussion. Apparently most of you do not like my rant and clearly most
of you do not

I wonder how many McCain points this piece was worth?
I smell troll...
I'll be holding my nose, voting for the least likely to wipe their
