Four years ago, just before the anniversary of the September 11th events, using public domain images from the Library of Congress and the U.S. National Archives, I created a remembrance video, September 11 – Remembering after 15 years, and posted it on YouTube.
Yesterday, I received an email from YouTube that the video had been flagged by a user for review and said, “Upon review, we’ve determined that it may not be suitable for all viewers and it has been placed behind an age restriction.” The age restriction was probably because of what someone considered “graphic content.”
I appealed the age restriction.
I reviewed the video several times and there is one image (above) of the explosions accompanying the impact of the second jet and one image with a man with a bloody face in the background. I didn’t find anything that would warrant any sort of age restriction if it were in a movie.
The appeal was denied.

Absurd.
