BigDaddy YouTube Reinstates Kate Upton Video

Today’s NY Daily News features Alexander Tamargo’s image of Kate Upton — much better imho than Terry Richardson’s — to update us on status of Kate’s ‘Cat Daddy’ video on YouTube. Kate’s rather salacious new video, released a couple days ago, was abruptly taken down on YouTube Wednesday morning for violating the website’s rules on nudity and sexual content.

I can attest to Kate’s assertion that there are many more videos on YouTube with much more salacious content. As is always the case with the demands by social conservatives that content is pornographic, their condemnation will drive video views higher.

YouTube officials eventually reached the same conclusion, writes NY Daily News.

“With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call,” said a spokeswoman for the site.

“When it’s brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it.”

BigDaddy YouTube Took Down Flogging Video, Too

My own experience with YouTube acting as the morality police is more serious. They consistently pulled down a terrible video of a woman being flogged in Sudan, because the floggers demanded it.  Coincidentally, I just reposted this video after the April 28 Unite Against the War on Women national march.

The video files were next smuggled out of Sudan to women’s rights bloggers like myself. Posting the horrific video under the Anne of Carversville name on Vimeo, I knew it would stand. Then I contacted Bloomberg News as others reached out to CNN and the BBC.

Only after the major media let the flogging video stand on their websites, did YouTube relent on their own decision to ban it.

There’s no doubt that Kate is shakin’ boobs and booty in ‘Cat Daddy’. She seems to be managing her career just fine, catching Rick Santorum’s eye at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner last weekend.
