I would like to formally appeal the decision by YouTube to permanently remove my channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC61jC9ggxeGu8HJ9Q_TxOGg
After carefully reviewing the harmful and dangerous policy rules, I could not find any violations that matched my channels behavior. My channel does not contain any videos that violate the law or encourage it. There is no propaganda for illegal or dangerous activities, there is no encouragement of hacking.
In my videos, I provide the viewer with the latest news related only to Bitcoin (which is legal in developed countries). These are neutral educational, documentary, scientific and artistic video content, in the public domain. Some videos were reused content warranting deletion, but none were harmful or dangerous. All my links in the description of each video were relevant neutral informational links on Bitcoin and harmless.
I am not an expert in law and if I did violate anything, please point to a specific example or is there something I can do, change the channel, delete the video, change the content, anything to restore the channel, I am very willing to do it or have it done for me. What videos were harmful and dangerous and why (I truly believe they were all harmless)? I hope that the removal of these videos will be satisfactory. Also, my channel had no strikes before this. Deleting a decade long channel serving the Bitcoin community with zero strikes is pretty extreme.
I have worked very hard to keep this channel clean from any harmful influence (I have declined all promotion offers because of this), I have tried to provide quality information about Bitcoin in good faith for almost a decade on YouTube with this channel and I would like to continue to do so. I think it has helped people understand Bitcoin in a much safer way than most crypto channels on YouTube today. Linking to quality Bitcoin resources like reddit.com/r/bitcoin, (where I have helped moderate for a few years) is one such example of a good Bitcoin resource I think. There’s also the Bitcoin discord chat, where I and other volunteers help people to use Bitcoin responsibly and troubleshoot their technical issues. For this and more examples of my volunteer work in the Bitcoin space see http://bitcoinproductions.com
My channel is dedicated to publishing publicly available sources of information that are relevant to current events and the history of Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto. I really just want to help people learn about this new and growing phenomenon by showcasing neutral educational, documentary, scientific and artistic video content in the public domain. One example of this is the Bitcoin Optech podcast which covers technical developments in the Bitcoin software ecosystem on a weekly basis.
Thank you for your consideration in reinstating this channel. I apologize if I did anything harmful or dangerous, I don't think I did, really. And if I did, I am willing to take any corrective action to for the channel to be restored.
I would like to be informed of what was specifically done to violate the harmful and dangerous policy so that I do not do it again. I think it's very possible YouTube's automated systems flagged my channel mistakenly for removal, please have a closer look. I would like to continue to practice my legal speech rights on YouTube.
Thank you.
