J0nathan's channel banned
French YouTuber lost his channel after uploading Hellraiser: Revival video with nudity covered by black boxes.
“J0nathan’s channel had 190,000 subscribers and a decade of uploads when he decided to upload a video of the hotly anticipated horror game video with the nudity covered up.”
YouTube's nudity policy
YouTube cited severe violations of sex and nudity policy after J0nathan skipped age restrictions on his video.
“The notice cited 'severe or repeated violations of our sex and nudity policy,' while an appeal reply added that 'explicit content that’s meant to be sexually gratifying isn’t allowed on YouTube,'”
10 years of work lost
J0nathan said his ban wiped out 10 years of hard work and over 3,000 videos, his main income source.
“J0nathan told IGN he had covered the nudity with black boxes and added a 'Not Made for Kids' label, but skipped the age restriction, reasoning that the rest of the game was 'just a standard horror title like Resident Evil.'”
The big picture
J0nathan's YouTube channel was permanently banned for nudity in Hellraiser: Revival video despite black box censorship and age label.
