Abusing the DMCA to take down videos stealing user funds seems... questionable.

Nice that they are admitting to perjury on twitter like that.

As other threads have pointed out, Google's copyright violation system is a process that's private. It's before the DMCA laws get involved.

So maybe it's a ToS violation?

(This isn't defending the person issuing copyright strikes. Their behavior, right or wrong, just isn't perjury. I think. Good thing I'm not anyone's lawyer.)

Completely agree. It should be on YouTube to do that and not a 3rd party.
