What our YouTube ban service reports
We file six core violation types through YouTube's official reporting and copyright channels. Every case is screened for a genuine Community Guidelines or copyright breach first — we never report a legitimate channel.
Scam & impersonation channels
We report channels running scams or posing as someone they're not, mapped to YouTube's spam, deceptive-practices and impersonation policies.
- Fake giveaways and "send crypto, get double back" cons
- Channels cloning a real celebrity, creator or brand
- Phishing links and fake "official" support channels
- Deceptive thumbnails and titles pushing off-platform scams
Stolen & re-uploaded content
When you own the work, we prepare and file copyright takedowns against channels re-uploading your videos through YouTube's official copyright process.
- Whole videos re-uploaded without permission
- Clipped or lightly edited copies of your originals
- Content ID and copyright-webform claims by the rights holder
Harassment & cyberbullying
We document sustained targeting and threats in videos or comments and report them under YouTube's harassment and cyberbullying policy.
- Sustained targeting and threats across videos
- Coordinated bullying and incitement in comments
- Doxxing and sharing of private information
Spam & deceptive practices
We report inauthentic activity and deceptive uploads that breach YouTube's spam, deceptive-practices and fake-engagement policies.
- Sub-bots, view-bots and bought engagement
- Repetitive, mass-uploaded or auto-generated junk
- Misleading metadata and bait-and-switch uploads
Dangerous & illegal content
We report harmful or clearly illegal videos; severe cases are escalated to the proper authorities rather than treated as a takedown alone.
- Dangerous acts and harmful misinformation
- Clearly illegal or regulated content
- Severe illegal material directed to authorities and hotlines
Impersonation of you or your brand
We report channels using your name, avatar, logo or content to pass themselves off as you, under YouTube's impersonation policy.
- Cloned channels copying your name and branding
- Profiles using your logo or avatar to mislead viewers
- Fake "official" channels diverting your audience
