Luke Rudkowski
Case #
5682

YouTube reportedly demonetizes popular channel: Luke Rudkowski, founder of independent media organization We Are Change, reported that his YouTube channel had been demonetized. According to his tweet, he included a small clip from an interview with Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in a video in order to comment on it. The purported screenshot that Rudkowski shared indicated that YouTube claimed the clip violated its policy against "reused content," and this justification was used to demonetize his entire channel. The TeamYouTube Twitter account responded to Rudkowski's tweet, stating that his account had violated the monetization policies and that he could re-apply in 30 days.
