EYOU-Tube

Youtube is evolving into much more than just a platform for music, tv and comic videos. The European Comission is also active on Youtube. But they're not the only ones that upload footage on the EU, eurosceptics use the platform to spread their views too. An overview.

The European Commission has its own Youtube account. The video's posted here are (of course) all positive. They post video's with titles like: "What does equality mean to you" and "50 years of protecting the European Environment.



The Video's don't just show the marketing video's that the EU creates, but they express their views and ideals on Europe too. The following video is on an program that wants better informed European Customers.



That opinion that the EU is not only beautiful but might be negative too cannot be found on the page of the European Commission. Others actually do express that feeling and upload video's that are more sceptical in nature. For instance, the following video on Barrosso. He said that the EU will be comparable to an Empire when the new treaty is put into force. On Youtube, this led to many angry reactions.




Another, even more sceptical video is called: "The Real Face of the EU in 10 minutes". It starts with the opinion that 'we are decieved'. And it also states that the European leaders conspire and keep us from the real truth.
