In a massive blow to the first amendment auditing community, roughly 90% of YouTube’s first amendment auditing community, including Long Island Audits, Delete LawZ Clips and San Joaquin Valley Transparency, received notifications on Monday that their YouTube channels were being demonetized effective immediately due to violations of the YouTube content creator policy. YouTube’s content creator policy essentially says that creators must follow YouTube’s community guidelines, terms of service and AdSense program policies. Those policies clearly state that channels cannot feature harmful or illegal behavior and also penalize creators for off-platform behavior. In the world of first amendment auditing, auditors often film themselves being arrested. It is part of the supposed “test” of the first amendment. Especially in the beginning of first amendment auditing on YouTube.
