Double Toasted
Case #
2426

YouTube restricts channel's live streaming capabilities for a week over videos that, when uploaded, were allowed on the platform, but are now considered a violation of the platform's community guidelines: A channel on YouTube called Double Toasted typically creates content that includes host Korey Coleman reacting to various other videos that have already been uploaded to YouTube. The channel was suspended from live streaming for a week by YouTube for its reactions to "challenge videos," which are now considered a violation of the platform's community guidelines. So-called "challenge videos" are viral acts recorded on camera that are often outlandish and dangerous, which users try to accomplish and one-up each other on, and then upload to social media. "They have this guideline about not showing violence against children, even if they're in challenge videos," said Coleman in a video discussing the channel's one week live streaming suspension. "By the way, the violence that they f*ckin showed first! And then we put 'em in our videos, and now they're retroactively going back, and if we miss one they'll look at it and say, 'well, this is against our guidelines, strike!'" Koleman added that if the Double Toasted channel gets another strike within the next 90 days it will incur a two week suspension. If the channel were to receive a third strike within that 90 days that would lead to the channel's deletion, Coleman said. "[I]t is not fair people, it is not fair because we put that up at a time when YouTube had a different set of rules, had different guidelines, and now they want to go and dig through our stuff and penalize us and punish us for it," Koleman continued. "Seven years of content that we have to dig through to find even one video that might offend them."
