"Right off the bat I get in and the channel is not operational. There was a notification. I think it said it was content that could harm the rest of society or something like that," says Imanol Sánchez, the Aragonese bullfighter and networking expert to which Vimeo has canceled their bullfighting content account.
The message from the video platform is as follows: "Your account has been deleted by the Vimeo team because it violates our rules of use. Reason:
You cannot upload videos showing extreme violence."
Imanol Sánchez's is not the only case.
The New York company is doing a scan to detect bull videos and proceed, "without prior notice or appeal," to eliminate the accounts that support them.
The bullfighting portal
Aplausos
or the popular
Mundotoro
have also lost their Vimeo channels.
"Once this media success has been
confirmed
,
the prohibitions and
censorship by the most important channels such as Vimeo
come into play
,
"
wrote
Mundotoro
in the editorial
La
Comunicación se va a negro
.
Or YouTube, the main video platform that began a few years before to eliminate any bullfighting content.
Although you can still find remains of some videos about bulls, many creators left the platform to fall back on Vimeo.
An exodus that Imanol Sánchez also made
, who came to have a premium account on the platform that no longer wants bulls among his videos.
"I started using Vimeo when they started covering YouTube.
It's a bummer that they take our content here too
. I used it to index the web."
The BMF company, the Bailleres Martínez Flamarique group, has also had its Vimeo account deleted.
"It has happened to us like all of us,"
says Estefanía García, the person in charge of running the Chopera social networks.
"They close it for you overnight. Fortunately, the material is not lost.
Youtube at least gives you the possibility to appeal. Not here.
They close your account without
giving
you more options."
Actually Vimeo allows "reply asap to give an explanation" convincing to moderators.
And they warn: it is not a sufficient excuse to say "I have seen other people do the same."
In addition, Estefanía is dedicated to taking photos and videos on her account of bullfighting content.
His personal channel is still hosted on Vimeo.
"Hang on for now. I shoot videos of a lot of celebrations. With more music
, more artistic. There are not even punches or anything bloody."
On Instagram a warning appears, a curtain that must be removed to see a natural, "and in Tik Tok they do not allow you to upload videos of bulls either. They
disappear instantly,"
Estefanía warns.
On its website, Vimeo explains that "moderators remove videos that are
obvious infringement cases when we notice them
. Some examples of this include copies of movies, TV shows, and music videos; or the playback of an entire song on a video with a white background or minimal visuals. These are not the only examples of the things we remove as infringements, so do not take the list as exhaustive, "he says.
Vimeo was founded in 2004 by the InterActiveCorp company,
"a company that hosts more than 150 brands and products on the web
.
"
In 2017
Anjali Sud
, a woman of Indian descent included in the list of the richest under 40 years,
was appointed as CEO
.
In November of this year,
Vimeo has secured an extra 150 million financing
from two investment funds, Thrive Capital and GIC, a fund that manages foreign exchange reserves in Singapore.
"I had quality content,"
Imanol Sánchez complains.
"30 hours of quality content. Documentaries, reports on bullfighting in Aragon and our idiosyncrasy. You have to see the bottom line.
Animalists have a lot of influence
. They pressure companies to make decisions and make us blackout so that the word bullfighting disappear from society. "
Imanol Sánchez believes that bullfighting people have shown that they have "the ability to sell this profession with so many values and that this hurts."
For now, there is Daily Motion, the platform used, for example, by the Cultoro portal.
"It does not put anything against.
Either we are capable of developing a bullfighting platform that allows us to upload videos or the future is very short
. Companies should adapt to the legality of each country. Bullfighting is a legal activity in Spain."
