"A YouTuber who won a legal case against the company after allegedly being banned by AI still hasn't had his account reinstated 'If they can do this to me AFTER I won, what chance does any creator have?'" It includes two images: one featuring the YouTube logo on a plain white background, and the other showing a wooden gavel (judge's mallet) on a base, symbolizing a court ruling.A follow-up post in the thread links to a Dexerto article: "I’m not giving up. I am filing a complaint with the Irish regulator to force YouTube to honor the decision" followed by the article URL.

Key Story Details from the Article:Background: Oleksandr's "Chase Car" channel (focused on car content) was demonetized, then fully terminated in November 2024 for alleged "Spam, deceptive practices, and scams" violations—attributed to YouTube's AI moderation.

Lawsuit: In March 2025, an independent EU legal body ruled the termination "not rightful." YouTube defended itself but couldn't provide evidence of any policy violation. Oleksandr won the case.

Current Status: Despite the victory, the channel remains banned. Oleksandr has emailed YouTube's legal team for 4 months with no meaningful response (only bot replies).

Next Steps: He's escalating by filing a complaint with Ireland's Data Protection Commission (YouTube's EU HQ is there) to enforce reinstatement. He's also offering advice to other affected creators.
