Stop YouTube's Unjust Shadowbanning of Channels


Stop YouTube's Unjust Shadowbanning of Channels
The Issue
My personal experience with YouTube has been frustrating and unjust. I am a content creator who has been shadowbanned for no apparent reason, leaving me in the dark about what rules I may have violated. This is not an isolated incident; numerous channels are experiencing this opaque form of censorship without any given explanation from YouTube.
Shadowbanning is a practice where a user's content becomes invisible to others without the user knowing about it. It's an insidious form of control that stifles voices and creativity, often without just cause or due process.
According to data from Tubefilter, as many as 15% of YouTubers may have experienced some form of shadowban in 2020 alone. This represents millions of creators worldwide whose voices are being silenced by this deceptive practice.
We demand transparency from YouTube regarding their shadowbanning policies and procedures. We call for clear communication when a channel is being penalized, along with valid reasons for such actions.
This petition seeks to hold YouTube accountable for its actions and ensure fair treatment for all its users. Please sign this petition if you believe in freedom of expression on digital platforms like YouTube.
