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.
We report channels running scams or posing as someone they're not, mapped to YouTube's spam, deceptive-practices and impersonation policies.
When you own the work, we prepare and file copyright takedowns against channels re-uploading your videos through YouTube's official copyright process.
We document sustained targeting and threats in videos or comments and report them under YouTube's harassment and cyberbullying policy.
We report inauthentic activity and deceptive uploads that breach YouTube's spam, deceptive-practices and fake-engagement policies.
We report harmful or clearly illegal videos; severe cases are escalated to the proper authorities rather than treated as a takedown alone.
We report channels using your name, avatar, logo or content to pass themselves off as you, under YouTube's impersonation policy.
Detailed, YouTube-specific walkthroughs for each violation type.
