YouTube Added as Defendant in Class Action Lawsuit Against BitConnect.
“YouTube failed as a gatekeeper to protect its users from, and warn its users of, the very harm YouTube set out to prevent with its advertising protocols and proprietary algorithms.”
Per court documents acquired by Cointelegraph, BitConnect and its affiliated parties posted a number of promotional videos on YouTube, which were deemed inappropriate as the material allegedly lured potential investors to a fraudulent investment scheme. YouTube is said to have failed to delist and demonetize the published videos, which exposed “countless” YouTube users to injurious videos and illegally-promoted investments.
“This case is not about YouTube being the speaker or publisher of the content on its website. Instead, liability is predicated on YouTube’s failure to act after learning from content directly published on YouTube of the readily foreseeable harm posed by its advertising partners... As the old saying goes: Sometimes when you lie down with dogs, you get fleas.”

good post sir.
It is a very good news.
Thanks for the information @melip
When will the madness about Bitconnect stop? LOL, I get it everyong lost tons of money except for the few that just withdrew everything before the crash. Don't get me wrong i lost everything too, but it's not coming back no matter how many people you sue. The biggest problem with these "class actions" is they are only 3-6 people. Why didn't they open it for everyone to register and list damages to join the classes? Google/youtube might actually pay just to shut these people up......

When looking at the list of videos they have demonetized, we can see where their priorities are - political and philosophical. No surprise that ponzi schemes get overlooked, they're too busy being thought police. @ironshield
