Fraudulent false claim was just dropped after my dispute. Why these frauds are even able to do this I have no idea.

How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer? Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours. So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3

Hi @TeamYouTube, I’ve sent correspondence to YouTube Support regarding the termination of my Youtube channel(UCqAqLr-ZChKiU8WPC-BeyKA), and have forwarded my previous correspondence for context. I’ve now received an email referencing a completely unrelated YouTube channel that does not belong to me. This raises real concerns for me about privacy and data handling. It’s troubling to receive ianother channel in correspondence about my own case, and it makes me concerned that YouTube’s automated systems may not be taking sufficient care to protect users’ privacy and ensure cases are handled correctly. Could you please help escalate this for a proper human review of my channel termination and clarify why an unrelated channel was included in the email? I’m asking for someone to investigate my specific case, not another generic appeal link. Thank you.

with halloween approaching, which defense has been the scariest so far this year?

Protecting kids should be part of doing business for online platforms.   
 
I’m championing the Kids Online Safety Act because parents deserve more than excuses from companies who put children at risk. They deserve accountability.

I've had a copyright claim submitted over a few small Tesla clips in my latest video while talking about some of the sweet Roadster thruster footage. Obviously all fair use. How is it fair @YouTubeCreators that a baseless claim like this can be made by a company that has absolutely nothing to do with Tesla? All monetisation removed again for up to 30 days including shopping and I just need to take it until my dispute expires. Add to that I need to tick boxes in my dispute submission agreeing that "I understand that filing fraudulent disputes may result in termination of my YouTube channel." For creators this stuff scares them into being bullied into having their earnings taken away. It only needs a 2 second glance to see that the claim itself is fraudulent, so such claims should never make their way to a creator in the first place. All the power is with the claimant, almost nothing with the creator. 🥺

absolute cinema as expected 🙌

ty to all the creators who inspire us to touch grass in new ways

Parents deserve control, and corporations must design for kids' safety—not addiction.
