BBC censor Pro-Independence Blogs.

The BBC appear to be targeting Pro-Independence  Blogger's and attempting to censor pro independence Bloggers 

As the English Blogger  AAV tells us  

People are absolutely free to use short video clips of other people's copyrighted material to provide political analysis. This is confirmed by YouTube's own "fair use" guidelines.
However, YouTube have apparently decided to comply with the BBC's efforts to shut down several pro-independence channels by enforcing copyright takedowns against all videos containing clips of BBC output (regardless of fair useconsideration) and then suspending the pages for repeat violations.

One of these censored Blogs is unsurprisingly Wings Over Scotland one of the most read Blogs not only in Scotland but the whole of the UK,

Wings explains what happened to him.

We happened to be looking at a couple of old articles this morning, and noticed that some of them had blank spaces where videos should be.We didn’t think much of it at first, because people do sometimes delete old videos or shut down their accounts, but when we checked one of them we discovered it was hosted on the Wings Over Scotland channel.Or rather, it USED to be, because our YouTube channel isn’t there any more

This was surprising, because as far as we knew the channel was listed as being in “good standing” with YouTube, meaning it had zero copyright strikes, and we’d had no warning emails about anyone making a copyright claim about any videos, and indeed no notification of the account termination.

And then things got a bit sinister.

Because what appears to have happened is that the BBC has suddenly gone on a crusade against pro-independence sites, launching mass takedown demands that get your whole channel killed before you can respond to them. (Unlike Peter Curran, we got no notification from YouTube so we can’t challenge the claims individually.)

If you go to YouTube’s Copyright Centre, you’ll find yourself at a page which says you can file an appeal if you think your account has been terminated in error:

Wings whole take on this  can be seen on his Blog at least for now because who knows where the Unionist Censor will strike next?

Is is just the start?The BBC has come into a great deal of criticism not only for its Unionist Bias but for its constant failure to  cover Vote Leave breaking election law  and it  seems to have launched "a chilling attack on freedom of speech through their misuse of YouTube's copyright takedown system to shut down pro-independence commentators and blogs".


Can the recent  British parliamentary committee report that UK government should hold technology companies responsible and liable for "harmful and illegal content on their platforms," and that misinformation and "fake news" is threatening democracy be part of a plan not to protect democracy but the reverse?

Can we have the scenario where it is the Tories together with the BBC deciding like the US President what is "Fake News"  ir whatever criticises them?
