YouTube - Limits to Freedom
Some may have noticed that the gatehousefilms account on Youtube has been permanently removed without notice or explanation. This also removed copies of our films and useful comments. Youtube's owners make contact tricky, in a way that brings to mind the opening scenes of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So we are left guessing what it was amongst our handfull of films that caused so much offence? Could it be one of our clients mobile phone footage of an anti-BNP rally, which took place on our doorstep and to which many of us participated? (Incidentally, rumour has it that Lewis Hamilton, current Formula One racing champion broke off from a nearby booksigning to join the protestors.) No, it surely can't be that, although it did certainly provoke some very rabid comments from other Youtube users - although on the whole it seemed like reasonable debate. So come on Youtube - what's your problem?
