- oefrha 2y agoI’ve heard this story quite a few times but it’s always hearsay without anything concrete enough to even begin to verify. Given that one account of mine got perma-banned on YouTube (for violating the “impersonation rule” with a bunch of screen recordings set to private…) and it didn’t affect the rest of the account, I have to assume the story is fake.

I saw plenty of uproar on the day it happened. I remember a number of tech channels also started to post videos on how to de-google right after that.
- oefrha 2y agoOh okay.

This article provides a good summary of events. The short of it, is that a YouTuber was Livestreaming. He asks viewers to spam certain emojis to select what path the streamer should take. Google's automated system detected the spam, and banned google accounts.
