Short:
"Youtube is inaccessible to Comcast, your ISP. To get back your Youtube access, protest here (link), write CEO Comcast (email) or address your politicians (here). We have also created a 'For the people protest'. In case you want to switch providers, these seem to be your options: 'page with providers according geolookup'"
I hope we will soon be available again! You can contact us concerning this on [email protected]
Sorry for your inconvencience, this will hopefully be resolved soon, CEO Youtube
-- click for long version --
Because of Net neutrality (wikipedia link to net neutrality), we can't guarantee stable access without paying. This would be a huge cost for Youtube and we are unwilling to pay for a service that is provided to / paid by the enduser (you)."
There are thousands of ISP's in the world, we can't pay them all off for 1 billion people. We have the option to protest now (and hope you join us) or to raise our prices in the near future, for something you are already paying for.
In support of net neutrality, we oppose the following ISP's: "list of ISP's". In the next days, they will receive a crippled internet, without access to the following services (list of tech firms / websites blocking their services for those ISP's).
AUTOREPLY on support-netneutrality, with more info. Mailinglist for everyone who sends to support-netneutrality.
Make this open software, so everyone (all other tech companies) can use this and can set this up fast.
This will hopefully be resolved soon, contains a link to a status page (and the only Twitter Account that can be viewed?), with some messages, eg:
Facebook joins Strike for Net Neutrality freedom
Netflix joins Strike for Net Neutrality
AT&T has become a Net Neutrality supporter (Awesome internet is back for AT&T users)
