Hi #TeamWhite,

As you may know, our Community Guidelines describe which content we allow – and don’t allow – on YouTube. Your video “SA Race War: 1st Battle Between Blacks & Whites – Part 1” was flagged for review. Upon review, we’ve determined that it violates our guidelines. We’ve removed it from YouTube and assigned a Community Guidelines strike, or temporary penalty, to your account.

Video content restrictions

We encourage free speech and defend everyone’s right to express their points of view, even if unpopular. However, YouTube doesn’t allow hate speech. Sometimes there’s a fine line between what is and isn’t considered hate speech. If you’re not sure whether or not your content crosses the line, we ask that you don’t post it. Learn more here.

The impact of strikes

This is the first strike applied to your account. We understand that users seldom intend to violate our policies. That’s why strikes don’t last forever – this strike will expire in three months. However, it’s important to remember that additional strikes could prevent you from posting content to YouTube or even lead to your account being terminated.

How you can respond

If you believe this was a mistake, we’d like to hear from you. Please follow both of these steps as simply deleting the video won’t resolve the strike on your account.

• The next time you sign in you will be asked to acknowledge this strike on your account.
• If you would like to appeal this strike, please submit this form. Our team will thoroughly review your appeal and will contact you again very soon.

We value your opinions and feedback. Please take a few minutes to fill out our survey.

Sincerely,
– The YouTube Team
