At least in the past, you couldn’t get banned from YouTube: They would instead lock your entire Google account and I personally would not be able to deal with that.

And is probably illegal if you’d ever take the shit to court…

They’re a private company, they can ban as they please. This has been proven time and time and time and time again in US courts.

Yeah but usa isn’t the center of the world and other countries see that differently…

Twitch for example frequently gets slapped by Germanys courts for idiotic Bans…

People that make their money with youtube being banned is like the termination of a contract, and that has to be within certain legal boundaries, this here? Definitely not legal in many countries.
