This is kind of dumb. At-least YouTube should have a form of downloading archived videos if the account is deactivated. They probably have them on their servers

This is kind of dumb. At-least YouTube should have a form of downloading archived videos if the account is deactivated. They probably have them on their servers anyway. Some of this makes me feel like there should be some form of law. If you ban/delete someone’s account, and the data they had was not illegal .e.g child porn, you gotta hand it over.
