This ain't right.

YouTube suddenly terminated the channel for the firearms parts company Brownells, the company claimed on Saturday.

“Brownells’ YouTube channel has been terminated without warning or notice,” Brownells’ Twitter account stated.

Probably their AR build videos. YouTube has very specific new rules...no assembly of full guns, can’t show a
supressor being mounted on the gun etc.

This is what happens with a monopoly.

The response must've been effective :)

From the link:
Update Monday 10:53am: Brownells announced Monday morning on Twitter that their channel has been restored and thanked those who voiced support.

Is suspect they're feeling out exactly what they can get away with... continuously testing the water as well as setting the expectation that channels will eventually be restored (until they're not) to temper the outrage.
