Almost a week without any response from @TeamYouTube .
@nealmohan do you and your support team really not see what’s happening?
Thousands of innocent creators are getting banned automatically — no warnings, no real review, no humans.
How can this be fair? #YouTubeSupport
I did what 99% of creators think is impossible - I legally defeated YouTube.
How does YouTube react? They're pretending it never happened.
Let me tell you a story that proves the system is designed to crush creators - even when you WIN legal case and the law is on your side 👇
➡️ June 2024: My channel "Chase Car" (20k subs) gets demonetized for "reused content."
I appeal. A HUMAN reviewer checks everything - my editing timeline, voiceovers, scripts.
They email me: "This is original content, you follow all the guidelines." Monetization restored. I'm relieved. A human verified me. I'm safe now.
➡️ November 2024: I wake up to find my entire channel TERMINATED. Same content. Same videos. Different result. Reason: "Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies".
Wait... what? A human JUST cleared me months ago. Since I was verified by a YouTube employee, I knew my content was fine. I was creating EV news/car review videos that the YouTube Team had already accepted. Yet, the AI bot didn't care this time.
I appeal → INSTANT rejection from the AI bot.
Most creators give up here. But as a European Union citizen, I have the opportunity to defend myself as a creator using European Union law. I filed a formal case with ADROIT, an official European Union certified dispute body.
March 2025: Case filed.
July 23, 2025: Decision arrives (attached)
The verdict:
✅ "Complaint is UPHELD"
✅ "YouTube's termination was NOT RIGHTFUL"
✅ "YouTube failed to specify violating content" and my channel should be reinstated.
An independent legal body ruled YouTube was WRONG. The best part? YouTube defended itself during the process but could not show what I had violated. I WON.
Here's where it gets terrifying - My channel is STILL terminated.
I've been emailing YouTube's legal team for 4 MONTHS. Bot replies and complete silence.
I never gave up; I fought fairly for my rights as a creator using the tools I had, and I won fair and square. Yet, they're acting like it never happened and the decision doesn't exist.
Think about that for a moment. Even when you:
➡️ Follow every rule
➡️ Have a YouTube employee confirm that your content follows the policies
➡️ Win an official legal case
➡️ Have a documented decision that your channel should be reinstated
...YouTube's AI system just ignores you, and contacting a human is impossible.
If they can do this to me AFTER I won, what chance does any creator have?
I'm not giving up. I am filing a complaint with the Irish regulator @CNaM_ie to force YouTube to honor the decision.
But I need your help: RT this and tag @TeamYouTube .
Make them respond, so they can't pretend this isn't happening.
Because if they can ignore a legal ruling, no creator is safe.

hi @TeamYouTube . i writing this in regards to my channel termination that took place on NOV 3.
i haven't received any updates from you for past 24 days.
my messages and posts are getting ignored. a mistake was made on my channel and it was unfairly banned.
you even told me 24 days ago that i have been reinstated 2 times but reinstatement didn't happen.
i sincerely ask you for a manual review of my channel by a human.
i hope you don't ignore this message and at least reply to it in some form or way. looking forward to your reply.
YouTube can’t heal before this slop is rinsed off the platform
The worst part?
Thousands of legit, hard-working YouTube channels that provide value are terminated for no reason in a huge AI-moderation wave
Absolutely disgusting
There’s so much soft-porn on YouTube you wouldn’t believe it
We have to ban thousands of soft-porn videos from our outliers finder every week
The people that actually provide value is driven off the platform while slop poisons YouTube
I can’t believe what I’m hearing…
Thousands of YouTube channels removed by AI moderation for no reason it’s not an ISSUE… It’s a FEATURE!
Genuine content creators banned for spam is not an ISSUE it’s a FEATURE.
Appeals being auto-rejected by AI is not an ISSUE it’s a FEATURE…
UPDATE: YouTube has admitted they made a mistake
after their AI Gemini bot falsely terminated millions of channels
YouTube responded by using AI, automated replies on X
but recently, things have changed
YouTube is now responding on X as actual humans
my channels are still falsely terminated and haven't been restored
I just make economic and fitness documentaries (a human would know if they checked)
but YouTube has finally begun to take action
this includes people who do NOT have many followers
retweet and tag @TeamYouTube if you want help
MAJOR UPDATE: YouTube just got caught lying and they could be fined up to $51,744 per violation.
after YouTube falsely terminated over 5 million channels with AI
they went trending on X for four days in a row
when creators like myself appealed, our appeals were rejected in less than a minute
(see the pictures attached)
in response, YouTube stated that AI was not involved in channel terminations and channel appeals
so how did hundreds of thousands of appeals get rejected immediately?
under US law – FTC Act §5 (15 U.S.C. §45) – deceptive acts or practices are illegal.
If the FTC finds YouTube violated Section 5, they would receive civil penalties of up to $51,744 per violation
retweet and tag @TeamYouTube so a real person can see this
UPDATE:
YouTube has reinstated all my channels only after my post went viral. It took them 5 months...
Huge thanks to the X community for your support, and to everyone who stood by me during these months. I can’t thank you enough 🫶🥹
Special thanks to @OldMoneyLuxury and @DanielTChirwa.
BUT...
I’m not done -not while so many creators are still being terminated for no reason. Stay tuned!
Could one of those people please take a look at my channel? My channel is now sitting in "appeal pending" for several months.
I still have my silver play button I recieved after years of building up my channel on your platform. I just want my channel back. I want to continue making content on Youtube.
If I need to do anything different with my content I'm happy to be given direction, but I was banned unfairly out of the blue like many of the people replying now.
Please, have someone take a look and unban my channels. @teamyoutube

@YouTubeInsider@TeamYouTube Thank you, Rene ❤️ I wish this care reached the creators your AI moderation auto-removed. I’ve been warning you personally for 5 months... The backlash isn’t a surprise -it’s a response. Fix the system.
YouTube creators DON’T need that “care.”
They NEED fair moderation -not an AI that terminates channels for no reason and rejects appeals in seconds
How many creators are still being unfairly terminated?
Hi @TeamYouTube it’s been 48 hours since this post was made. No reply.
And 12 hours since you’ve reaches out in DM.
I gave you all the details you asked for please Review my case fairly.
Everyone should retweet this. And Tag @ Teamyoutube for a fair review on their case.
Hey @TeamYouTube , AI moderation on YouTube is killing creators. I’ve lost two channels , both with over 100k subs, each making around $10k/month and all because of broken automated systems that can’t understand context or intent. Not once did I speak to a real human. Every “appeal” and “review” was just AI bots spamming the same copy-paste garbage.
Creators have zero protection when bots are the judge, jury, and executioner. Banning a channel should only be done by real human reviewers — not this AI nonsense that destroys livelihoods overnight.
At this point, the only ways to fight back are to go viral on Twitter or lawyer up. I’m done staying quiet. I’m drafting a letter to my lawyer and pushing back hard. @TeamYouTube — this has gone too far. #YouTube #AI #Creators #FreeSpeech
YouTube lied to Me in DM… Again..
They said they made a mistake and are reviewing my channel again.
Then they said my channel is Reinstated.
Then a bot came and override the original decision made by a human,
This is unacceptable Behaviour from @TeamYouTube . They are playing with me.
All i demand is a fair answer.
Please tag @ team Youtube and Retweet, if we stop now, we’ll never be heard.
YouTube is preparing an official statement about their AI moderation system failure...
The problem is that we already know how FLAWED YouTube's AI moderation works behind the scenes.
We've seen THOUSANDS of genuine creators terminated for no reason. That's enough to draw conclusions.
No need for another vague PR statement. YouTube should start by bringing more TRANSPARENCY to its system and rebuilding trust with creators.
