This video is still up. I'm not sure if I'm looking at the wrong video, if it was never taken down or if YouTube have changed their decision.

It was reinstated after pressure on Twitter.

Can you provide a source to that claim?

I'm interested to know if it was pressure on Twitter or or if the uploader followed a Youtube appeal process which was successful.

500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute worldwide, algorithms are the only way to practically 'police' harmful content on this scale, but so long as there is a meaningful appeals process, i don't see an issue?
