Hi yes, I have read this and am aware of this being the reason why. I am a over 30 year old man with 3 children under 16 and your automated system has assumed it was my kids streaming because of their voices in the background. It was my livestream, I need this enabled soon as possible please.
@TeamYouTube
Hi YouTube, I am asking for an urgent manual review of the decision to disable livestreaming on my channel.
My livestreaming privileges have been disabled because your automated systems appear to have detected the voices of children in the background of my livestream. I want to make it absolutely clear that I did not intentionally feature or livestream any children, and I did not use my livestream to broadcast minors.
I am an adult content creator and this was my livestream, my channel and my content. I was livestreaming my computer screen and gaming content, with my focus entirely on the stream. My children were with me as their parent and adult supervisor, and their voices happened to be audible in the background. They were not shown on camera, were not participating in the livestream, and were not the subject of the broadcast.
I completely understand and support YouTube's responsibility to protect children and enforce its child-safety policies. However, I believe my channel has been incorrectly affected by an automated detection system based on background audio rather than an intentional attempt to feature or broadcast minors.
I would also like to point out that my channel currently has no Community Guidelines strikes. I have made every effort to maintain my channel responsibly and follow YouTube's rules.
I have not deliberately violated YouTube's child-safety policies, and I respectfully believe that disabling my entire livestreaming capability is disproportionate in these circumstances.
I am therefore asking @TeamYouTube to arrange a human/manual review of my channel and the livestream in question, rather than relying solely on automated detection, and to reconsider the decision to disable my livestreaming privileges.
Livestreaming is an important part of my content creation and I want to continue producing gaming content for my audience while fully respecting YouTube's policies. I am also willing to take additional precautions in future livestreams to prevent unintended background voices from being picked up.
Please review this decision fairly and restore my ability to livestream. I believe my channel history, lack of strikes, the circumstances of the livestream, and the fact that I was the responsible adult and creator conducting my own stream should all be taken into consideration.
Thank you for taking the time to review my situation. I would genuinely appreciate a fair and thorough manual review of my channel and the restoration of my livestreaming privileges.
