White House Ditches YouTube

An anonymous reader writes to tell us that in an apparent response to privacy complaints, the White House has quietly moved off of YouTube as a method for serving the President's weekly video address. Choosing instead to use a Flash-based solution and Akamai's content delivery network, this comes just days after YouTube began to roll out their own new policies regarding privacy of visitors.

    The people of Doomed america eat their children every day like vicious, ravenous beasts; and worse and much more is coming. Watch for a widespread public service announcement with this theme: Have children so you can eat to survive; itâ(TM)s your duty as a patriot!

    You must educate yourself on the abortion-promoting policies of Bloody Beast Obama. Remember, this wicked nation elected him; he will be the world emperor before he is done; and the bloody bastards of doomed america love him. He is the most aggressive advocate of abortion, including killing babies born alive, who ever drew breath. And heâ(TM)s just getting warmed up. Heâ(TM)s already proudly pronounced that if one of his daughters makes a âoemistakeâ and gets pregnant, he wonâ(TM)t âoepunishâ her, but instead will advocate (and really probably demand) for her killing his grandchild. Heâ(TM)s a blood thirsty monster whose cravings for evil and bloodshed will never be satisfied, and he is the perfect president for this evil nation.

    In addition to the millions of babies this nation kills in the womb, or fresh out of the womb, they sacrifice their children to their filthy lusts; they teach them false religion and bizarre traditions; they do it all to justify their own sins. Further, this nation is famous for turning its children over to raping priests. Their children are fodder for their rebellion against God; they fuel their evil slow bellies every day, as they teach them God is a liar; itâ(TM)s OK to be gay; and every form of filthy manner of life imaginable. The bear children to vent their spleen against God and raise them for the bloody battle fields of their rebellion. And did I mention they are just getting warmed up good? They eat their children every day, in so many ways. And Godâ(TM)s wrath has barely peeked out from behind the clouds so far. Wait until he gets going good. They are going to literally chow down on their children.

    Bloody Beast Obama will change times and laws, so that by that time, it will be good and fine with everyone for them to cook up their children and eat them. In fact there is probably going to be a law mandating that every seventh child (or some other figure they land on) is required by law to be used to feed the people. There will be a PR campaign that will knock your socks off, telling the people they are not true patriots if they donâ(TM)t bear children for dining. Theyâ(TM)ll gobble, gobble, gobble and slap each other on the back, waving their bloody flags, and call it great and good. You just watch and see. These are brutish people and God is going to deal with them. You have the solid promise of God for this fact. They have disobeyed him for generations; and now he is going to curse them just like he promised. Check out these words:

    Deuteronomy 28:
    53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
    54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:
    55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.
    56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,
    57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

    Well for one thing it cost the public nothing.
    And it is a very popular site so a lot of people might see it. No different that letting networks cover speeches or news conferences.
    Finally because it is free.
    This new system will require the government to pay for the band width, development, and administration of the streaming site.
    It still depends on Flash as well.
    I just hope they block overseas views so our taxes don't pay for that bandwidth. Just like the the BBC does with it's feeds.

    Me. A lot of other people I know who run Linux. It depends on Flash, and the GNU implementation of Flash is rather broken. I refuse to use the nonfree version, and it doesn't work with anything else, so...

    Still think using a free service that everybody and their dog uses makes a lot more sense than paying for it.

    Only if you are a YouTube/Google fan boy.

    Troll? For valuing my freedom above the ability to watch 3 minute segmented episodes of anime and the other things of critical importance residing on youtube, I get modded troll?

    If Gnash worked with Youtube, I'd use it. But it doesn't, whether through some error of my own, mirrored across my circle of friends, or due to some defect. Since I refuse to install a nonfree application *just* to go to youtube, I don't go. Don't assume that absolutely everyone uses youtube.

      Yes, because you lose freedom by using a freely usable (yes, freely,, fuck Stallman, fuck Bush, and fuck anybody else who wants to co-opt the word to means something that it does not mean) plugin that works just fine. OH NO I CANNOT RECOMPILE IT WHATEVER IS THE WORLD COMING TO
