“Just got the news that UgaritNews has been removed from YouTube for a terms-of-service violation. It was one of the most prolific and accurate sources of video coming out of Syria. Scores of people literally risked their lives to have their videos posted there. Thousands of videos have now vanished. Trying to reach out to Youtube to find out what’s going on and whether it can be reversed.”

— NPR’s Andy Carvin mentioned this an hour ago. And, yeah: it’s very true — they had stuff up not too long after Reuters sent out a flash. It should be reversed. (Update via Carvin: The UgaritNews page has been restored to Youtube, but not all of their videos are back yet - particularly their recent videos.)
