Ban T-Series From YouTube


Ban T-Series From YouTube
The Issue
As you all know, the battle between PewDiePie and T-Series has been going on for several months now. At first, only PewDiePie and his viewers actively participated in the battle, while T-Series just watched the entire situation unfold. PewDiePie released his "diss" track on T-Series called "Bitch Lasagna" on 5 October 2018. In a matter of a few months after the track was released, T-Series took over the spot for the number one most subscribed channel on YouTube, dethroning PewDiePie. With a subscriber gap of 110,000+ subscribers, PewDiePie released another song titled "Congratulations" with two of his friends, Roomie and Boyinaband.
Although PewDiePie has never broken the YouTube Terms of Service during this battle, T-Series has been consistently doing so over the past few months. They have been Content ID claiming the videos of small Indian content creators on YouTube that criticize T-Series, tell their audience to subscribe to PewDiePie, etc. Here is the link to the video of one of the creators affected by this misuse of power: Mr Wilson
T-Series has also falsely accused PewDiePie of defamation, damaging someone's reputation through false statements (which PewDiePie never did). They just recently approached the Delhi High Court in India. The Delhi HC, listing "Congratulations" and "Bitch Lasagna" as "racist", "abusive" and "vulgar", directed YouTube to take strict measures against PewDiePie. YouTube then made "Congratulations" and "Bitch Lasagna" unavailable for viewing in India.
Seeing what T-Series has done so far in this battle between creators and corporations, I request the authorities over at YouTube to ban T-Series from their website completely. Unless this is done, it will make other companies think that they have the authority to do abuse the power they are given on YouTube, and creators will continue to suffer on a platform that was designed for them.
