Wow! I'm literally in shock reading the CNN post about YouTube policy. All the apologies and corrections are good but the fact is their initial action was to label all LGBT artists as non desirable to general public. That was their default way of thinking. I guess it is not surprising given the fascism-in-the-air times we're living in. So, this means Sam Smith was blocked, too? And other LGBT artists? How odd that the "gay" label, in all its variations, was the determining factor is censoring certain videos. Especially since so many "straight" artists have extremely explicit videos. I mean, it's 2017, for cryin' out loud. Great that CNN is fixing it, but still. Some CNN management peeps sure dropped the ball on this one. This isn't about CNN. They are just reporting the story. This is about youtube. I have no idea whether Sam's vids are being restricted or not, but my guess would be not. He stays pretty far away from any button pushing and likely wouldn't fall under the 'sensitive issues' criteria.

There is somethng sensitive in WWFM? No it looks like WWFM is Adam's only MV to escape the 'sensitive issues' label. It's all of his other vids that have been flagged in restricted mode.

Adam has been so careful to NOT have his MVs be LGBTQ specific! They are so neutral! I am following the YT tweets now & their explanations are not workung for me at all!

On his VEVO channel he has 22 video's in normal mode. In restricted mode those are 16. So another 6 video's lost. These are: Music video FYE Music video IIHY Aftermath NCOE Audio Naked Love (AOL sessions) TP Lyric video His channel: www.youtube.com/user/AdamLambertVEVO/videosThese seem random as Fever from Glam Nation Live is still there and NCOE Audio is restricted but the MV is not.

Both his channels are gone in restricted mode when you search on Adam Lambert.
For those wondering: Sam Smith is still there, but he also loses 6 video's on his channel when you turn on restricted mode.
FYI: LMD Red Nose Day ft. John Legend I'm not the only one MV I'm not the only one Live Leave your lover MV Make it to me - Stripped - Live Money on my mind MV

Try P!NK or anyone you know who might have a video that is more adult. Thanks.
