The recent suspension of the James Randi Educational Foundation’s YouTube account has apparently been reversed.  There doesn’t seem to be an announcement on the JREF website, nor has an official explanation of the reason for the suspension been revealed.  However, it was only a brief hiatus, and it’s good that normal service will be restored.

It appears that the James Randi Educational Foundation have had their YouTube account suspended – no reason is known.

The JREF are an outstanding bulwark against the rise of paranormal and supernatural ideas in society, internationally.  I cannot for the life of me see why this decision can have be made.  The JREF’s mission, as quoted from their website:

The James Randi Educational Foundation is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1996. Its aim is to promote critical thinking by reaching out to the public and media with reliable information about paranormal and supernatural ideas so widespread in our society today.

Seems eminently reasonable to me.  You can write letters in protest, though I guess it would help if we knew why the JREF’s account had been suspended.
