As part of their continued efforts to piss all over their own contribution to freedom of speech, YouTube have outdone themselves. They have suspended the channel of the James Randi Educational Foundation.
This move is pretty baffling. Very little information is available, but it is hard to resist the suspicion that some kook complained about the beastly treatment they had received from those cruel JREF bullies. I have no idea why YouTube are so keen to roll over.
If you would like to complain to YouTube about this go here. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on "new issue". Be sure to select "suspended account" in the options. Thanks.

JREF is back. Apparently, the problem was a copyright infringement which has been resolved. Randi, in the video below, is keen not to blame YouTube. I am less sure. I think they need a better system for dealing with this type of thing. Taking down the whole channel just seems over the top. Nonetheless, the problem seems to have been dealt with.
