>Following inquiries from Reuters as to why the channel was removed, YouTube restored it on June 18, explaining that it had received multiple so-called 'strikes' for videos which contained people holding up ID cards to prove they were related to the missing, violating a YouTube policy which prohibits personally identifiable information from appearing in its content
>YouTube asked Atajurt to blur the IDs. But Atajurt is hesitant to comply, the channel's administrator said, concerned that doing so would jeopardize the trustworthiness of the videos.
I'm not sure what the issue here is. I don't think Youtube's policy of not allowing PII content is unreasonable.
- vgaldikas 5y agoYeah but what's the issue of posting your own PII? I mean I understand that probably you shouldn't, for various reasons. And posting someone else's PII should absolutely be banned. But if I want to post my ID online, what harm can I make to anyone else?
- nine_k 5y agoNot their own, but that of their missing relatives and friends.
- ByteJockey 5y agoThe only concern I can think of would be holding up someone else's id/a fake id and getting that person arrested by the CCP. It's closer to swatting than PII leakage, but it's the only thing I can come up with.
