| Re: Complaint: Scientology ad's | antk83 | 2/13/12 11:56 AM | I do agree with your comments here. Unfortunately its one of those Free speech things where the answer cannot be given as a simple yay or nay. As part of google's "do no evil" ethos I would like to see a bit of improoved regulation regarding the ad |
| Re: Complaint: Scientology ad's | Grayrage | 2/13/12 1:09 PM | Out of curiosity, why do you believe Scientology is any more dangerous than Christianity, Islam or Judaism? The fact that I am even presenting this question is really the answer to yours. |
| Re: Complaint: Scientology ad's | antk83 | 2/13/12 2:31 PM | I've not drawn any such comparason between aforementioned cult and any other belief systems. My point is that such material should not peddled to where a child can have access, even if/when that access is supervised. The right for an individual to |
| Re: Complaint: Scientology ad's | anmoose | 2/13/12 3:38 PM | The majority of advertising is 90% hype, and impressionable minds being exposed to it should be taught early to take it with a grain of salt.

| Re: Complaint: Scientology ad's | macahi | 2/13/12 6:26 PM | There are those of us who consider christianity to be an even more dangerous cult.It's your responsibility to teach your kids which sets of myths you want them to believe or not believe. You can't rely on the internet, TV, radio or print to raise you |
| Re: Complaint: Scientology ad's | Shendue | 8/19/12 2:54 PM | Because Christianity, Islam and Judaism aren't cults with profict purposes. They are religions. Scientology itself denies the definition of religion, so those things aren't really comparable. I was raised in a christian school and yet i'm agnostic, a |
| Re: Complaint: Scientology ad's | Shendue | 8/19/12 3:00 PM | I was raised in a christian school and yet i'm agnostic, and i'm pretty critical on many aspects of religions, not even speaking about fundamentalism.

| Re: Complaint: Scientology ad's | RotnRoll | 8/26/12 1:32 AM | I do agree. It's not a matter of free speech. Google have every right to corporate with this cult. It's a matter of morale a integrity. When they accepts these commercials in kids cartoons, they saying scientology is ok. |
| Re: Complaint: Scientology ad's | Michael Shigorin | 11/11/12 3:47 AM | It's roughly as dangerous as (neo)judaism and western "christianity" since it's all different forms of satanism by now, commonly characterised by lies -- e.g. some "watch tower" folks suddenly started agitating for the "world government" as if they'v |
| Re: Complaint: Scientology ad's | sami mahmoudi | 3/12/13 7:29 PM | This has nothing to do with free speech. you can not put porn or gore or racist or hate related content or advertisement in any YouTube video let alone children's cartoons. it is really interesting how the free speech card is used and twisted to fit |
| Re: Complaint: Scientology ad's | sami mahmoudi | 3/12/13 7:31 PM | i never saw a Christian or Islamic or a Judaism related ad on YouTube and defensibly not hidden inside a children's cartoon. if i do, i would have had the same complaint. |
