Dear friends!
Thanks to to your invaluable support, Youtube removed a “Community Guidelines strike” (MORE HERE: https://youtu.be/XdDzskZApa0) from SouthFront’s channel and restored our video “The Battle for Mosul: Concept Versus Reality” (https://youtu.be/J3A7ocTCrCA).
Most likely SouthFront temporarily received the Community Guidelines strike because of a false flagging by some project ill-wishers.
Our appeal and your public support proved the video did not violated “Youtube Community Guidelines”.
Thank you all!
With the removal of the Community Guidelines strike, SouthFront restored its ability to host live streams. The next live stream will take place on Saturday (August 19).
Southfront is a public project that is operating only on your donations. We do not receive any funding from corporations or governments.
The number of content, which the project is able to produce, depends on your donations.

Dear friends,
We together have once again become a target of hostile act deliberately perpetrated on SouthFront: Analysis & Intelligence in order to damage our capabilities to disseminate an independent view on the military and geo-political issues of our time.
On August 17, YouTube deleted our old video analysis “The Battle for Mosul: Concept Versus Reality” released on December 12, 2016, because it allegedly includes some content “violating Youtube Community Guidelines”. [You can watch the deleted video here: http://ift.tt/2fZu4Ia%5D
This video, like all of our content, was made with informational purpose in mind and was aimed to provide independent coverage of the threats of international terrorism and the security issues of our time.
SouthFront: Analysis & Intelligence is one of few genuinely independent projects.
This situation is another step of the ongoing campaign aimed at downing our YouTube channel and suppressing SouthFront’s capabilities to provide independent analyses and coverage to the international audience.
This disingenuous act already impacted SouthFront’s ability to provide exclusive content. We cannot more host live streams because our Youtube channel has a Community Guidelines strike (Prof Michel Chossudovsky would likely become one of our next guests).
The previous attempt to down SouthFront’s Youtube channel was made on February 15, 2016 when Youtube deleted our video “Foreign Policy Diary ‘War on Terror’ [remastered]” released on April 30, 2015 under the same far-fetched pretext: “violating Youtube Community Guidelines”.
We expect that this series of hostile and disingenuous actions, as well as YouTube’s prejudicial treatment against SouthFront poses a real threat of blocking our YouTube channel. In this case, we inform our readers that you can watch all SF videos at our website, http://southfront.org
SouthFront has been growing rapidly and attracts peoples’ attention, because of the exclusive independent analysis that the project provides.
The only thing that we violated is the mainstream media’s exclusive right to provide informational coverage of world events.
On the other hand, this situation is a clear signal of the quality of our collaborative effort. The only what SouthFront’s ill-wishers can do to oppose SouthFront is to use a direct censorship. Thus, we, together, are on the right track.
Additionally, we link this incident with facts that SouthFront has recently increased coverage of the situation in the US and our later coverage of the US-Ukraine arms trading relations.
In the current situation, SouthFront especially needs your support. Without it, we won’t have resources to keep our broadcasting if the channel is downed.
SouthFront needs your support: PayPal: southfront@list.ru, http://ift.tt/1FPuNlT or via: http://ift.tt/1PHlNDp
Sincerely yours,
SouthFront: Analysis & Intelligence
