It was not lacking, since said video has effectively been deleted. The Youtubeur then posted a second video in a “censored” version, hoping that it remains on the platform. Unfortunately, it has also been withdrawn. “I have reached a degree of disgust towards this platform which is such that even knowing that it is our main source of income, I wish it to die ”, he testifies. He thus decided to sue YouTube.
