YouTube "disappears" gun safety video recommended by Walt

 The "cancel culture" really is getting out of hand. YouTube is riding [how about "pushing"? Ed.] the wave of censorship of anything posted on the Internet that could by any stretch of the "woke" imagination be considered offensive, politically incorrect, or even "not woke enough".

Case in point: One of our readers posted a video on YooToob several months ago which was nothing more than a compilation of people having close calls or injuring themselves while using... gasp... firearms. Getting in a little target practice or popping bottles just for fun. The clear message was that if you're careless with an around guns, you'll pay the price. Gun safety, ya see?

The video was up for months and we posted a link to it here on WWW. It got some views, not a lot, and a few likes. And then, a few days ago, it was "vanished"... made to disappear... stuffed into Orwell's memory hole. Why? YT sent our reader this notice.

The funny thing is, if you copy the title and paste it into the YT search window, you'll get lots of "hits" on the subject of gun safety and what happens if you fail to practise same. But not this one. How come? Wonder if it had anything to do with being recommended by Walt...

Note from Ed.: "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!"
