Petition: Tell YouTube to stop shutting down the Bernie2016TV channels

http://pac.petitions.moveon.org/sign/youtube-stop-shutting?source=s.tw&r_by=1606126

For this that might not be following...YouTube continues to shutdown channels set up by Bernie2016TV, even if they are posting their own content...it's bizarre and seems like retribution. Add to that, they won't ever respond to inquiries as to why.

The options are limited for us.

An economic boycott, however, is always the strongest inducement for a corporation to play nice with the public.

Perhaps they want a rent: is there a policy that commercial ventures have to pay to post? They might feel politics is commercial.

One of Google's people is ex-CIA. We know how they turn tricks for the corporate establishment.

This is just a little example of the internet without net neutrality.
