MySpace users angry over News Corp censorship of YouTube

A blogstorm is starting to gather pace in the MySpace blogging community after the now News Corp owned company started deleting links and references to YouTube videos.

Ellis Yu wirtes to the Blog Herald and says:
“My friends and I are trying to make the blogging community aware of a stealth censorship campaign that is being conducted by MySpace. They are not admitting to it, and are trying to do this in secret.”

I can tell you that censorship is being done in the Health forums at myspace as well. You'll see people giving accounts of how they overcame a disease or illness only to be met with harassment (a form of censorship), from "regulars" who just happen to be doctors, or "cheerleaders". Many people are driven from the forum by such childish antics, and people who harass back appear to be censored. If you use myspace; I suggest ignoring ads there (they're supported by ads). Don't click on them! A good tool to help is Mozilla FireFox with NoScript and Adblock extensions.
