Search Engine Zeekly.com Launches New Site ZeeklyTV.com In Response To Youtube Censoring

Tampa, FL (MMD Newswire) December 5, 2014 — On August 1, 2013 Florida entrepreneur Jeffrey Sisk launched the Zeekly.com Search Engine(https://zeekly.com) to protect privacy in response to revelations from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden that companies such as Google, Yahoo & Bing were being forced to secretly give the United States government all of their user’s metadata. Metadata includes very personal information such your unique device IP address, the keywords you search on the internet, and the sites you visit. Zeekly.com protects you from this intrusion by not storing/retaining your metadata, and the site uses 2048-bit SSL encryption to prevent your internet provider or cell phone provider from capturing your information (It was also disclosed by Edward Snowden that all major internet and cell phone providers are under court order to give their metadata to the U.S. government).

Because of the success of the Zeekly.com Search Engine, earlier this year Mr. Sisk was asked to launch a new site for uploading videos by users who have channels/pages on sites such as Youtube and Facebook, and post news and commentary/opinions on a daily basis. These users were frustrated that sites such as Youtube have been censoring them over the last year, and some of their videos have been mysteriously disappearing from their accounts. In some cases, their channels would be completely shut down even though the videos they were posting clearly were not in violation of the site’s terms of use policies. It is unknown if this censoring is being done directly by Google who owns Youtube, or another entity such as a governmental agency, but this had become a frustrating issue for many users.

The result? On October 1, 2014, ZeeklyTV was born (http://zeeklytv.com). ZeeklyTV is a site that combines many of the best features of Youtube, Pinterest & Flickr, and allows you to post both videos and pictures online. ZeeklyTV also includes social media functions that allow you to easily share your content and make friends with others. In the spirit of the Zeekly Search Engine launched last year, ZeeklyTV was created in response to a need, and has a strict “no censoring” policy.

In a recent interview, Zeekly’s CEO Jeffrey Sisk stated, “It is surprising to me that in America of all places, which clearly has constitutionally protected freedom of speech, a company would be willing to censor their users in this manner. However, one does have to acknowledge that these are private companies. They have the right to delete a user’s content for any reason. However, most certainly their users will want to decide for themselves if they are comfortable with an internet company arbitrarily picking what the they and the public are allowed to see and hear. I launched the Zeekly search engine last year to protect privacy, and at the request of users decided to launch ZeeklyTV this year to protect freedom of speech. These are fundamental American principles that are important not just in America, but to users around the world, and it is of primary importance to us as a company to support them. We also recently registered a new domain name VoteWithYourMouse.org and we are developing a new website that will launch soon where users can share information on websites and companies and rate them on issues such as protecting your privacy. One thing is certain: These internet companies earn billions of dollars each year because you are using their websites and apps. You do have a choice, and If the public starts supporting smaller startup companies such as Zeekly who care about privacy and a free and open internet, these companies will become the big successful internet companies of tomorrow.”

ZeeklyTV is on the web at http://zeeklytv.com, and the Zeekly Search Engine is at https://zeekly.com.
