YouTube rectifies and restores ethical hacking videos after the controversy generated
After deleting several videos of ethical hacking, YouTube rectifies and restores the deleted videos, but stresses that the rules are to be met.
YouTube's policies on content are a real chestnut. Google imposes the rules as it suits it or rather, depending on the size of the channel. If your channel has millions of subscribers, you have absolutely nothing to fear. On the contrary, if the channel is more modest, for you the rules apply strictly and as appropriate. This happened a few days ago with a video on hacking training.
YouTube decided to delete a video of Kody Kinzie, which specializes in computer security. Among others, it has videos on how to audit WiFi networks to improve security. For the video platform, this type of content educates on network piracy. Come on, they have taken it by the standard they wanted.
According to YouTube, the rules haven't changed, they just apply them
All this fuss started when Kody Kinzie, co-founder of Null Byte, an ethical hacking channel. Last week he reported that YouTube had deleted several videos for allegedly breaking various rules. Specifically, the platform deleted the videos for containing "hacking and phishing instructions: show users how to bypass computer security systems"
Logically Kinzie showed dissatisfaction with the performance of the platform. Among others, many Google workers showed their dissatisfaction with the decision. Well, in all this mess now YouTube has rectified its sanction and has restored the deleted videos.
Despite everything, they have not completely retracted, since they have highlighted that: "our lines and policies have always referred to videos that contain illegal content or dangerous activities"
This already happened to us a long time ago. YouTube without prior notice we deleted a video of how to verify the security of our WiFi network. The video had been published for two years and there was no problem. The platform above prohibited us from streaming for three months. We are still waiting for a response to our claim.
