Stefan Molyneux video banned in Ireland - Censorship

Kidchameleon

In case you don't know who Stefan Molyneux is, he is a philosopher, author and Youtuber.


He recently made a video entitled "The Terrible Truth About Ireland 2040". In it, he outlined his opinion on problems he sees with the Ireland 2040 plan (http://npf.ie/). This video has been blocked from being viewed in Ireland. There is nothing in the video other than a guys opinion and everything is backup up with facts and evidence. This is a disgraceful act of censorship. I used to think it was crazy that the Chinese government censored the Internet for its citizens but this carry on is happening in Ireland right now. Love him or hate him, Molyneux should be free to give an opinion and we don't need the government to tell us what we can and cannot listen to. We can turn the video off ourselves if we don't like it.


Some people have reposted the video and it can be viewed for now on their channels. Here is a link to one such source:

Is there any evidence that the video has been censored?

It hasnt been censored. A private site(s) have decided not to host the video. Would the op be in favour of any old sh1te being posted on the walls of their home?

Censored? Look up the definition of “censored”! It’s available on YouTube as you proved. Available to all. I’m in Ireland and I can see it

It is viewable from any other country except Ireland. Try this with a proxy and see for yourself.

backspin.

It is interesting that they don't want people to see it. I wonder why that would be? What are they afraid of?

It has been re-posted by other people who have FAR less followers than Stefan therefore it will be seen by far less people and for how long will it remain on their channels. Fact is, somebody somewhere does not want Irish people to see this video.

For something that's been censored, there's seems to be no problem viewing it.
