How does that work? Isn't YouTube the ones that put that warning on it?

they have that thing that says "flag for inappropriate content"
that's why there's tons of videos with terrible swearing, violence, whatever that arent marked, but there are videos whit vaguley suggestive comment that get blocked.
it jkust takes a few internet crusaders.
if you notice, it says the video was flagged by the "youtube community", not youtube.
probably some anti gunners spamming it.

That's really messed to conclude that song is offensive. :wtf: is this country coming too. Seems that YouTube doesn't care enough to not let that kind of stuff get put on their stuff.

its community sourced, youtube wont do anything, they left it like that on purpose because they cant monitor everything that goes up. if we had enough people, we could totally get all of Piers Morgan's videos flagged the same way too.

Got it....still pretty messed up to do that to that song. The good side for Lynyrd Skynyrd is it will probably get played more now.

yeah.
that said, you know when youtube blocks it when they either force you to sign in and give an age limit, or they just remove it.
otherwise, its crowdsourced. its just like flagging comments as spam. you're at the mercy of the world.

Just throwing out another thought on this one. It may not be the song itself that was the reason it was flagged. It could be the video portion that it was flagged for. If you watch the video and not just listen to the song you will see the confederate flag full screen in the video near the end of the song. While I don't necessarily agree, the confederate flag has become a symbol of prejudice and racism. While there is really no support for their feelings some people are offended by the flag and think anyone who flies it is racist. This video could have been flagged by overly sensitive PC people due to the symbolic nature of the confederate flag.
So, just throwing some more fuel in this fire. :geekdanc: :geekdanc: :geekdanc:

I think you may be right inspector! Very good observation.
