Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs
ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agojust because a couple were removed doesn’t mean they were removed because of that….
if thousands of videos exist like that, they’re clearly not removing all videos like that.

There isn’t a claim being made that all videos showing circumvention of the Microsoft account requirement for Windows 11 installation are being taken down. Only some of them. You saying “people will just believe anything that fits their worldview” sounds like you’re asserting that no takedowns are occurring. Thank you for clarifying that this is not actually your position.
The likelihood is that that this is being done automatically by youtube’s AI, rather than because of requests by Microsoft. I think the real problem illustrated here is the lack of transparency when Youtube issues a takedown. An initial glance at Youtube’s Community Guidelines doesn’t seem to indicate a criterion by which a takedown would be automatically issued for such content, but I wonder if they’re starting to automatically flag anything that might be considered circumvention guides. Yet another reason to stop using Youtube.

there is no claim, it’s a link to a comment section that’s a link to another comment section
