The world, according to Dominic.

This same video was removed before, because it was deemed sexually explicit/graphic. I had to go through the press to get it put back up. I was issued an apology and all that.. so I thought we were done with this crap. I know people keep flagging it. The reason it was removed in the first place was because people were flagging it. But it’s up to YouTube to know the difference between appropriate and inappropriate.

And now we’re revisiting this all over again, except, this time instead of removing it, they’re age restricting it. Because they think it’s not “appropriate” for all ages. I wish I knew what to do about this. I’m so tired of this crap. No, the video hasn’t been removed this time, but being age restricted is just about as bad, in my opinion. Anyone should be able to make an informed decision about chest reconstruction surgery. There’s nothing sexually explicit about the video. There’s nothing inappropriate in the video. I wish they’d stop this.

Here are links to the articles about this same video being removed and YouTube re-evaluating their decision/policies.
