Isn't there anything to prevent them from abusing their power? Do they literally have the right to remove every single video with a single click?

- citricsquid 14y agoI believe they have the ability to remove any video yes, but I assume there are agreements; after all Youtube are not required to provide this, if they were to abuse it beyond what can be explained away with "dumb intern" or "oops wrong video" Youtube may decide to cut it off, but obviously Youtube get lots out of such a deal -- like Vevo, so who knows!
- ryguytilidie 14y agoNope, I asked my friend who worked at Youtube about this. He told me that they have to remove every video the label asks to have removed. Seems like a fantastic system. Surprisingly another American legal convention that favors a monsterously large corporation and shits on the individual citizen.
- tedunangst 14y agoThey don't have to. They have chosen to. Their policy may say they have to remove every video, but they chose the policy.
