Big Brother is watching everything



Hi Henry McClure,

As you may know, our Community Guidelines describe which content we allow – and don’t allow – on YouTube. Your video May 30, 2020 was flagged to us for review. Upon review, we’ve determined that it violates our guidelines and we’ve removed it from YouTube.

We know that this might be disappointing, but it's important to us that YouTube is a safe place for all. If content breaks our rules, we remove it. If you think we've made a mistake, you can appeal and we'll take another look. Keep reading for more details.

Video content restrictions

As mentioned, we've removed your content because we think it violates our Community Guidelines. You can find specific information about these guidelines in the YouTube Help Center

Please note that, due to the recent global health crisis related to COVID-19, a number of our normal review processes have been disrupted. You can read more about that here. In an effort to prioritize the well-being of our employees, our extended workforce, and the communities where they live, we are relying less on human reviewers and more on automation alone to make decisions. As a result, some content may get removed in error. 

If you think this removal was an error, please appeal using the form below, and we will get back to you as resources allow. Note that we will also be slower to respond to appeal requests. We apologize for these disruptions. Taking these workforce precautions is the right thing to do for the people who work to keep YouTube safe and for the broader community. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we take these steps during this challenging time.

Impact on your account

This removal has not resulted in a Community Guidelines strike or penalty on your account. However, we still encourage you to review all of your content to make sure it's in line with our Community Guidelines. Additional violations could result in strikes against your account, or even lead to account termination.

How you can respond

If you believe this was a mistake, we'd like to hear from you. To appeal this removal, please submit this form. Our team will thoroughly review your appeal and will contact you again soon.

Sincerely,
- The YouTube Team
