If you’re a video maker on youtube, at some point (most likely) you’ve ran into the threat of false flagging your videos down, or the actual act was done to you by some anonymous person.

Its happened to me SIX times in the past ! Each time, I’ve had my channel restored.

update

If you ever have had your youtube channel shut off, once the channel is gone, you cannot click the “dispute” button on the video which actually got your channel shut off in the first place. Smh @ that by the way.

Obviously, if your channel is shut off, how can you “dispute” an incorrect / false copyright that got the channel terminated?!

My channel was shut off SIX TIMES by all sorts of false flagging attempts – each time I went through a process to get the channel restored, and get the false claims removed.

=======================

We all know the flagging process is abused, and flawed — and leads to channels being flagged down by “fake” people, such as “Daffy Duck” , dead people like River Phoenix , and Randy Savage.

Clearly false claims , which are approved through the automatic (and obviously flawed / broken ) flagging system on youtube.

There is a way to get your channel back, if you’ve been hit with multiple claims which cause a shut down.

Follow these steps to begin the process of hopeful return : If you’re rejected, or run into problems (get lost in the shuffle) you can repeat the process until you get results.

You are dealing with real people doing this particular dispute , not a computer.

Remember, everything you send them is LEGAL.

Ironically, the people who filed the false claims did NOT have to do any of this. Which is why we really can say the system is beyond broken.
