Suspended YouTube account

  This morning I saw my YouTube account was suspended. Probably due to some hacker/hackers' activity because the reason given by the no-reply@youtube.com was "We have reviewed your content and found severe or repeated violations of our sex and nudity policy. Because of this, we have removed your channel from YouTube.

 
We know this is probably very upsetting news, but it's our job to make sure that YouTube is a safe place for all. If we think a channel severely violates our policies, we take it down to protect other users on the platform - but if you believe we've made the wrong call, you can appeal this decision. You'll find more information about the policy in question and how to submit an appeal below.

 
What our policy says
 
This account has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy on nudity or sexual content."
 



Now, sending them an appeal:
"I'm using this channel for many years and uploaded many videos from China and Cambodia. I am an adult with Master's degree who tried to keep the rules and followed the updates, answered the surveys, etc. My last videos were about animals, giving presents to poor kids and nature. NEVER HAD PORN VIDEOS! Is it a hacker activity?"


The automatic answer is:

 Well, I was sure there weren't those so-called "severe or repeated violations of our sex and nudity policy" and my account was restored, unsuspended (un-suspended) with apologies (which I do appreciate):

To make clear (if someone is confused why Google and YouTube are mentioned in the same texts above), "In October 2006, YouTube was bought by Google for $1.65 billion (equivalent to $2.4 billion in 2022)."^{Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube} Of course, it's not important but it's good to know that Google owns the YouTube.

Good that everything is going OK! We like Google and we like its YouTube!

It may be a bit confusing for some people at the beginning but they're just related (Google account and YouTube account). From the source: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/69961 -- "You need a Google Account to sign in to YouTube. A Google Account works across all Google products (like Gmail, Blogger, Maps, YouTube, and more).",

"You sign in to YouTube with your Google Account. To sign in to YouTube, enter your Google Account email and password. After signing up for YouTube, signing in to your Google account on another Google service will automatically sign you in to YouTube.
Deleting your Google Account will delete your YouTube data, including all videos, comments, and subscriptions. Before deleting your Google Account, you'll have to confirm that you understand you're permanently deleting your data on all Google services, including YouTube."

Don't forget it because may be useful and helpful.
