YouTube Apologizes For False Channel Bans
In a recent incident, YouTube mistakenly banned several channels, impacting many creators and YouTube Premium subscribers. This unintended banning was due to a system error that flagged channels for "Spam & Deceptive Practices," affecting users' access to YouTube services, including YouTube Music. This is prepared by SSP.
Despite issuing an apology and stating that efforts were underway to restore both channels and subscriptions, YouTube did not explain the cause or extent of this issue. This lack of detail has led creators to suspect the company's automation systems might be responsible.
Creators and subscribers reported the issue on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), citing missing files and insufficient support. Furthermore, the interconnected nature of YouTube services was brought to light, as users not only lost channel access but also their YouTube Music subscriptions.
