Howie Jacobson slapped for online “Hate Speech”
Search Marketing April 9th, 2009I recently uploaded a video on how to add a custom site search form to a website to a bunch of video sharing sites. It was accepted by most of them, except for www.revver.com. Here’s the email I got explaining why:
OK, I know you’re curious. So here’s the video (on youtube, whose standards are obviously more lax and permissive than revver). If you can figure out what’s so offensive, please let me know.
If you can stand my “nasty” content, you should check out the entire series of Look Over My Shoulder (LOMS) AdWords Video Tutorials. Learn more here…

Beats me – the only thing I could possibly see is “English only” (discrimination ?)
This just shows you how vulnerable you are when you have to rely on others for your traffic. It’s the “golden rule” – they that own the gold make the rules, and if your politics doesn’t match their – you lose.

Howie, I watched it twice to make sure I heard every word, and I heard absolutely nothing that could have been construed as hateful by any stretch of the imagination.
Makes no sense to me at all that you were sent that message. I think it was sent to you by mistake.

Looks to me like the classic ‘ID-10-T’ problem at revver.com. There’s not a thing wrong with the video, IMHO…
