[Contact FSMDUDE aka Dominique Poulin and give him some charitable feedback about his host desecrations on YouTube]
I’ll keep you updated as I find out more.
YouTube Reinstates Eucharistic Desecration Videos
From Catholic Online
Mr. Chad Hurley
Chief Executive Officer
YouTube, LLC
901 Cherry Avenue
San Bruno, CA 94066Dear Mr. Hurley:
As president of the nation’s largest Catholic civil rights organization, I have heard from Catholics across the country about the fact that YouTube has not removed approximately 40 videos by a Canadian student who claims he is desecrating the Eucharist. In an attempt to show his disdain for Catholic belief, the student is shown in his various videos flushing the Eucharist down the toilet, shooting it with a nail gun, and feeding it to an animal, among other desecrations.
Catholics believe that the consecrated Host is actually the Body and Blood of Christ, not a mere symbol. To have such a central tenet of our faith attacked in this manner is not acceptable. According to YouTube’s Community Guidelines, YouTube does not “permit hate speech” which is defined in part as “speech which attacks or demeans”; this includes religion. It then goes on to say that “YouTube staff review flagged videos 24 hours a day, seven days a week to determine whether they violate” the guidelines. If a video is in violation, it is removed.
Many Catholics who have contacted the league have flagged these videos but they have not been removed. Hate speech should not be tolerated against any religion on your website in accordance with your guidelines. I request that you review these videos posted by “fsmdude” and remove them since they clearly violate YouTube’s guidelines.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
William A. Donohue, Ph.D.
