YouTube is one of the largest and most successful media hubs that can be visited on the internet. For every 60 seconds, 1000 hours of video are uploaded to the YouTube server. All videos pass through the Google content ID system to be scanned for copyright violations and inappropriate content. YouTube is excellent for spotting violations and removing.
- DMCA takedown
- Content ID match
- violation of the YouTube Terms of Service
- Community Guidelines for inappropriate content
Video removed: Inappropriate content
Violating Terms
Other reasons kinda weird, considering there are plenty of videos talking very openly about "exotic" sex practices, sex with other species, minors talking about sex and none of which have an age restriction. So language-wise Youtube never seemed to have a lot of limitations, considering that, flagging your video seems quite excessive.
YouTube sets some rules, and for the use of the platform, you must follow them.
- Do not post pornography or sexually explicit content.
- Cannot post content, including illegal actions, including animal abuse, drug abuse, underage drinking, bomb creation, etc.
- Do not post graphic and gratuitous violence.
- It cannot post hate speech or assault content.
- Must avoid anything that may be considered spam.
Rejected (content inappropriate)
Here is another issue that sometimes happens: YouTube thinks that video is misleadingly representing as an "official" video of any company or product, especially when you are using a company name or the logo in a way that misleads people in the thumbnail, title, description, or video itself.
Community Guidelines strike
Once the appeal was received and Youtube Team agreed to keep the community guideline strike and video down, you now have to wait till that strike expires and you're on "probation" for that time (3 months). Usually, there's nothing you can do regarding getting the video back up. Though you may be able to use something from YouTube's response to these requests, to prove your point:
"While Youtube Guidelines generally prohibit nudity, and we make exceptions when it is presented in an educational, documentary or artistic context, and take care to add appropriate warnings and age-restrictions."
Appeal the Decision
Just removing the video and re-uploading will not provide your account with a clean slate. A strike on a video will still stand long after an offending video has been removed. If you are successful in and Youtube approved your strike appeal against your channel video removal, the strike will remove, and the content will restore. If you are unsuccessful in challenging the removal, everything will remain the same the strike will stay on.It kinda annoyed that they have a word limit on their appeal message and they don't tell you. Since 3 strikes kill a channel. You really depend upon an appeal to prevent that from happening. I'm happy humans review it though. You can appeal the following message:
"My video contains no pornography or sexually explicit content. All content is obviously humorous and not meant seriously. Why my video when others' active YouTube content violates your restrictions?"There are ways to appeal in some other words.
I received youtube community guideline strike. I don't know why? And I am not agreed with this strike because my video doesn't contain sexual content, harmful, copyright issues, hateful content, threats, spam, misleading metadata, or scams. So please remove this strike from my channel. There are many videos in youtube which have the similar type of content but why my video was only removed? I think my video does not violate any type of guidelines, so please remove this strike from my channel.
