The two flagged videos that initiated the investigation show tools I built to demonstrate weaknesses in many card-access systems. I was asked by the FBI community to give a public talk on this work and these devices at my local InfraGard meeting. SECURITY RESEARCH IS NOT A CRIME.

@YouTube has denied my appeal and upheld the suspension, providing no further details. I still don't know which community guideline I'm accused of violating nor on which if any additional video(s) the decision was based. This is not right. What recourse do I have?@TeamYouTubepic.twitter.com/uMaYkGLpnS

Yeah, happened to me twice in 2014, both Fridays two weeks apart. Someone had named their talk "Buy Viagra". Seems some script flagged it as pharma spam (it was about pharma spam) & they suspended my account, even though I had many other videos and many subscribers.

I suspect something similar happened here, maybe on the term "skimmer" looking for ATM fraud stuff flagging multiple vids on my account. The (essentially nonexistent) appeal process is the most disheartening part of this for me :(

Yeah, I got help because I had a large following and people complained to youtube on my behalf. Maybe my followers will read this thread and do the same for you.

Much appreciated, fortunately they were able to sort it out this afternoon after an outcry:https://twitter.com/indiecom/status/1042832379755327490 …

John Gordon @indiecomIt's official, my account is back online! Thanks to everyone involved for the signal boost getting eyeballs on this unfortunate situation. Not everyone has the opportunity to get a denied appeal overturned, and it's not lost on me how fortunate I am to have you all as allies. https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1042830750335164417 …2 replies 1 retweet 5 likes
