Goldie Ghamari - Youtube is silencing my voice under false allegations!

00:00:00.000 Hi, everyone. If you haven't heard by now, yesterday when I was live streaming day 106 of Iran Revolution Live, which I have been doing since December 28, when the Iranian revolution started, my live stream was taken down by YouTube, and I wasn't able to bring it back up.

00:00:23.720 And then when I tried to restart my live stream, I was told that my live streaming capability has been disabled.

00:00:34.780 What's even crazier is the reason why YouTube disabled not only my live stream yesterday, but is now preventing me from live streaming on my biggest platform.

00:00:47.760 so i received an email yesterday and uh youtube is basically saying hey goldie gomari mpp it looks

00:01:00.920 like iran revolution live with iranian hosts goldie and armin day 106 didn't follow our community

00:01:07.400 guidelines we removed it from youtube what we found we think your content violated our firearms

00:01:16.260 policy. Content that shows someone live-streaming while holding, handling, or transporting a firearm

00:01:25.420 isn't allowed on YouTube. Channels not in compliance with this policy may temporarily

00:01:31.860 lose their ability to live-stream. You can see an instance around 50358, although there could be

00:01:41.520 other instances. Are you kidding me right now, YouTube? Are you kidding me?

00:01:51.280 Here, guys, look at this. So here is 50358. Do you see that? Here, let me make this bigger,

00:01:59.940 guys. I'm going to make this bigger. Here we go. This is 50358. You see the timestamp?

00:02:09.680 OK, there's the timestamp. There's me. OK, there's me. There's me. There's Armin. And, you know, we're watching this music video or whatever, which, by the way, this music video was available on YouTube.

00:02:27.360 So I was, we were broadcasting playing something that was already uploaded and available on YouTube and, you know, presumably has passed all the YouTube checks, right? So this is what was going on at 503.58. Do you see a gun in this screenshot? Do you see a firearm? You can't even see my hands.

00:02:51.840 I mean, unless you're talking about, I mean, these guns, maybe, but do you actually see a firearm here? Because I certainly don't. In fact, I don't even own a fire gun, like a firearm or gun or, you know, whatever. I don't even know the proper term for that kind of stuff because I don't own one. I live in Canada.

00:03:10.580 up. It's illegal to have these sorts of things anyway, without a permit. And in the last 106 days,

00:03:18.320 in fact, never in my life have I ever live streamed myself brandishing or holding or

00:03:27.660 carrying or whatever a firearm. I don't even own one. So anyways, this, this happened. And I was

00:03:34.800 like, you know what? This could be just a misunderstanding. You know, maybe, maybe this

00:03:39.260 is just a misunderstanding. Let me appeal the, let me appeal this, you know, decision by YouTube

00:03:45.280 because obviously it's unfair. Maybe it's like an AI thing. I have no idea. So I filed an appeal

00:03:53.120 and literally within four minutes, within four minutes, and guys, I have the, the timestamp

00:04:00.300 in the emails. Okay. So when I got the initial notice, like when I got this notice, okay,

00:04:05.940 the time difference between this notice and the appeal? Four minutes. So I appealed YouTube's

00:04:15.100 obviously erroneous decision to take down my live stream and block me from live streaming.

00:04:21.420 Within four minutes, this is the email that I got. Hi, Goldie Gamari MPP. We reviewed Iran

00:04:28.300 Revolution Live with Iranian hosts Goldie and Armin Day 106 again and confirmed it's not allowed

00:04:34.620 under our firearms policy. What firearms policy am I breaking? Your video won't be put back on

00:04:41.800 YouTube. We understand this may be frustrating, but we're committed to keeping YouTube a safe

00:04:46.660 place for everyone. Our goal is to help you succeed on YouTube. Well, you're certainly not

00:04:51.960 doing that YouTube. You're certainly not helping me succeed when you are taking down my videos

00:04:58.820 and then you are falsely accusing me of holding a firearm. What is it? Someone live streaming

00:05:07.320 while holding, handling, or transporting a firearm. So how are you actually helping me succeed

00:05:15.700 on YouTube when you are falsely accusing me of live streaming while holding a gun,

00:05:21.960 which I have never done. And of course, never will do. My entire show, Iran Revolution Live,

00:05:30.000 is about being a voice for the Iranian people. That's what I have been doing. That's what I

00:05:35.780 have been doing for the last, not just 106 days, but for the last 10 years of my life.

00:05:43.420 And now when we're getting to the critical point, now when we are getting to the moment

00:05:51.960 where things are escalating and heating up, this is the moment that you choose to block me from

00:06:02.900 live streaming? When 90 million Iranians have been shut off from the internet for the last,

00:06:10.360 what, 45, 44, 45 days now? The internet in occupied Iran has been shut down for the last

00:06:18.780 45 days. 90 million Iranians do not have a voice. They are unable to speak out because the terrorist

00:06:25.320 Islamic regime that is occupying Iran and occupying them does not want the world to know what they 0.95

00:06:31.380 think. That is literally the reason why I have been live streaming day in and day out for the 1.00

00:06:37.980 last 106 days. So that at least someone can be a voice for people in occupied Iran.

00:06:48.220 My appeal was rejected within four minutes. And then when I went to the YouTube creator studio

00:06:58.540 and I tried to speak with someone there, I was told by the manager that the decision is final

00:07:07.620 and there's nothing they can do about it because my video was thoroughly reviewed. Oh, really?

00:07:15.520 Really? Does this look like something that has been thoroughly reviewed? Where do you see a gun

00:07:21.520 here? Where do you see a gun at 503.58? And what's even worse is that when I was speaking with a

00:07:29.680 manager in the YouTube creator studio dashboard or whatever, and I said, well, what evidence do

00:07:36.920 have that i'm carrying a gun or holding a gun and then that person said to me well i don't have the

00:07:43.320 specifics i don't have access to the specifics but we trust our internal review team so obviously

00:07:49.080 there's a disconnect between the support on the youtube dashboard versus the internal review team

00:07:55.480 and how is it that the internal review team can just operate um with impunity right and no one

00:08:03.640 can challenge their decision. How am I supposed to get in touch with someone? This is literally

00:08:07.800 a life or death situation. And meanwhile, I know this is only happening to me. This is happening

00:08:16.900 to a lot of other YouTube content creators whose videos are being taken down and their ability to

00:08:22.660 live stream is being removed because of this weird firearms policy. I mean, I heard about

00:08:29.120 someone who was live streaming an active shooter situation, basically sharing the news and he was

00:08:37.000 taken down. I'm sharing news videos and content about the conflict in Iran. Of course, there's

00:08:43.400 going to be people holding firearms. That's why I've made sure that I say my content is not

00:08:49.880 intended for children. My content is for adults only because I'm sharing news. I'm sharing

00:08:55.960 political analysis. I'm sharing commentary. So why is it that I am being penalized for sharing

00:09:05.140 news videos? Meanwhile, meanwhile, this weird freak, this weird freak here who's part of the

00:09:14.280 Islamic regime, he's posting videos about how he wants to take American, female American soldiers 1.00

00:09:21.520 as sex slaves. Did you know that? Why is it that this jihadi terrorist Islamic regime, Mullah, 0.99

00:09:29.680 can post videos about how he is fantasizing about taking female American soldiers captive 1.00

00:09:40.600 as sex slaves, as concubines, right? He can say that, and he doesn't get penalized for that. 0.98

00:09:47.500 this weird, disgusting, gross jihadi mullah. And yet when I'm sharing the truth, when I'm sharing 1.00

00:09:54.840 videos of events that are happening in occupied Iran, I am the one that's being penalized. And now

00:10:02.240 I am being silenced. So not only are 90 million Iranians in occupied Iran silenced,

00:10:08.780 now my voice is silenced as well. Shame on you, YouTube. Shame on you. You're supposed to be

00:10:14.900 an American company. Did you know, YouTube, that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is a listed

00:10:21.660 terrorist entity in the United States? Did you know that? Did you know that the United States

00:10:28.300 is currently at war with the Islamic regime? Did you know that President Trump has said that he

00:10:33.800 wants to bomb them? What? Would you censor President Trump for his statements? Would you

00:10:42.960 censor Americans for their statements? Are you going to censor the videos that CENTCOM is uploading

00:10:48.840 to their YouTube channel because their videos include guns and firearms and boom-booms and bombs?

00:10:58.160 Why are you censoring people who are sharing accurate, reliable news clips and sharing

00:11:03.700 information? Why are you not giving the Iranian people a voice? Shame on you, YouTube. YouTube

00:11:12.460 right now, you are standing on the side of terrorists. You are taking the side of the

00:11:18.340 Islamic regime. And remember, the Islamic regime is the enemy of the United States. To me, 0.98

00:11:24.080 that sounds like treason. Fix this mistake.
