At RBS Reputation Management, we follow a results-driven approach to permanently remove fake, impersonating YouTube accounts and harmful YouTube content for our clients. Here’s a brief of the process we follow:
1. Audit & Case Assessment
Firstly, we collect information regarding our clients’ YouTube account removal issues and plan the appropriate course of action. Our team targets specific videos, comments, or the entire YouTube channel for complete removal. Additionally, we examine whether the YouTube channel or its content has violated the platform’s community guidelines or copyright policies. This specific step also involves examining if exceptions like fair use of content apply. We collect direct links, screenshots, and other relevant data to build a strong case for YouTube account and content removal.
2. Strategy & Compliance Planning
Once we assess the case, we develop a tailored plan to ensure our process of YouTube account removal is legally sound. In this step, we decide whether to ask the content uploader directly or submit a formal request to remove the YouTube content involving copyright violation. We also decide which information we should share with the uploader as legally required. Furthermore, we establish a successful outcome, such as the permanent removal of the target YouTube content, channel termination, and prevention of re-uploads.
3. Execution & Takedown Submission
We submit a formal YouTube account removal request to the YouTube team using different tools and techniques, especially via the YouTube Studio web form. If our clients are the owners, we follow a standard process of YouTube account removal. We ensure all the necessary details, like specific URLs, contact information, and legal statements, make our YouTube account removal request valid. Our team completes all the necessary authentication processes by re-entering the passwords and confirming our clients’ identities.
4. Monitoring & Prevention
The final stage involves the verification of the YouTube account removal. We put measures in place to prevent similar issues in the future. We monitor the provided links to ensure the YouTube content has been taken down. If the YouTube account or content violates the policy, we thoroughly monitor the YouTube channel’s status. For this purpose, we also use tools like the Copyright Match tool to find re-uploads of these videos automatically. Conducting periodic audits of the newly uploaded content in our client’s YouTube channel is one of our primary priorities in this process.
