    That’s only a legal principle - he’s not in jail, is he? Individuals and organizations can do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with modern society.

        He should be able to sue youtube for a nice settlement (if he is in the right), maybe? Idealistically, that should keep such bullshit in check.

        But then again, youtube probably has “Youtube reserves the right to do fucking anything to you” in its TOS that everybody just skips.
