His point was that YouTube should not provide her a platform, whether he pursues legal action or not is separate from YouTube giving her a platform. I imagine that if he is planning to pursue legal action, he won’t be publicly talking about that for some time.
There’s a couple. For one, they specifically promoted her on Twitter even though she’d been monetizing the work of other people without their knowledge or consent, and her use of their videos are practically never transformative enough to fall under fair use. It may have been a while ago, but a company with very aggressive copyright practices promoting a content thief doesn’t look great.
She escalated an issue she’s having on YouTube by allegedly engaging in offline harassment and doxxing his home address to millions of her followers on Instagram. YouTube is inextricably linked to this because her videos, and his videos criticizing them, are hosted by YouTube, and YouTube is earning ad revenue from all of that. She may have used Instagram to perform the alleged harassment, but people tend to follow online personalities on multiple social media sites, so there’s definitely audience crossover.
Her audience trends young, and she’s had at least one or two videos taken down for violating community guidelines involving bullying, iirc. At the moment, there are rumors that a video of her on Omegle doing blatantly illegal shit has been reported to the FBI, and that the video had been up on her YouTube channel for nine years, though the video has since been deleted.
He’s not calling for YouTube to act just on the offline harassment, but the full collection of provable bad behaviors on the site on top of the potential harm he and his family could face as a result of her present illegal actions and access to a platform with a lot of reach.
Why is that? If she has proven to act irresponsibly on the internet and is empowered by her cloud than all platforms should take a stance. Especially YouTube because that’s her main site. It’s not like her being a dick only happens or will only happen on Instagram.
Unless she trespassed there’s nothing illegal. I don’t think she shared a specific address. It IS (was?) against the YT TOS but they only care about what makes returns for Google’s shareholders.

I thought there was laws against this.
Oh shit, here is an article talking about Intending to cause malicious harm to others on and off the platform of YouTube, by Google.Also, it is already illegal, and you can be jailed for doxxing in the state of California.

I see this sentiment a lot. Why do you think he didnt? Why wouldnt he do both?
