We remove YouTube channels run by someone else to impersonate you or your brand, harass you, or keep re-uploading your copyrighted work, using YouTube's impersonation and harassment policies, copyright strikes, legal notices and EU DSA notices, with price and timeline quoted per case. You pay only when it's removed. If we can't remove it, you don't pay — any deposit is refunded in full.

Scope
How it works
Share the channel URL and the videos that matter most. We check whether we can remove the YouTube channel as a whole, or whether removing specific videos is the more realistic route, and whether any part would need a court order.
You get a quote and an expected timeline based on what we found: the grounds, the number of videos and the evidence available. If no legal ground exists, we tell you and stop there.
Impersonation and harassment are reported against the channel itself; copyright notices and legal requests target individual videos, and strikes add up. We file each with the evidence its policy asks for, and escalate by DSA or legal notice if YouTube refuses.
When the channel is terminated or no longer available, we confirm it with you. If we can't remove it, you don't pay, and any deposit is refunded in full.
Legal grounds
Every major platform prohibits harassment, impersonation, privacy violations, non-consensual imagery and fake engagement — and runs formal legal and privacy request channels beyond the public report button.
In the glossary →US hosts and platforms keep their safe harbour only if they expeditiously remove material identified in a valid notice from the copyright owner or an authorised agent.
17 U.S.C. §512(c) ↗False statements of fact that damage a reputation can be removed on legal notice, and in some cases by court order. If a case needs a court order, we tell you up front.
In the glossary →Hosting services operating in the EU must offer a way to report illegal content, process each notice diligently and explain their decision — including when they refuse.
Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, Art. 16 ↗Already reported it?
YouTube terminates whole channels far less readily than single videos, so a first refusal is not unusual. It usually means the report was judged against the wrong policy, or the pattern wasn't shown. We rebuild the case: identity or trademark evidence against their name and branding, a dated log of harassing uploads, or copyright notices that remove infringing videos one by one and add strikes. In the EU, a DSA notice must be answered with reasons, and a refusal can be challenged internally or before a certified out-of-court dispute body. If the channel survives, removing its worst videos and delisting them from Google can still take away most of the harm.
Before you try to remove a YouTube channel, it helps to know that YouTube enforces at two levels. Most reports remove individual videos. Whole channels are terminated in narrower cases: when the channel exists to impersonate someone, when it is dedicated to breaking a policy such as harassment, when it collects three Community Guidelines strikes or three copyright strikes within 90 days, after a single severe violation, or when it was created to get around an earlier termination.
That is why a channel case is built in layers. If the channel is an impersonation, the impersonation report targets the channel directly. If it harasses you across many uploads, we document the pattern so the reviewer sees a channel dedicated to targeting you, not one rude video. If it re-uploads your work, each valid copyright notice removes a video and adds a strike. Requests to remove YouTube channel content for criticism alone fail, and we don't file them.
Impersonation is the clearest channel-level ground. YouTube's impersonation policy covers channels that copy a person's or a business's identity — name, image, avatar, banner or overall look — so that viewers believe it is them. Fan and commentary channels are allowed when they make clear they are not the real person or brand.
If the fake channel is running scams in your name — fake giveaways, crypto offers, fake support numbers — warn your audience on your real channels straight away, and keep every message from people who were contacted. That evidence strengthens the case considerably, and it protects your audience while the report is reviewed.

Questions
Report the channel from its channel page under the policy it breaks — impersonation, harassment, spam or scams — and report its worst videos individually. If it re-uploads your content, copyright notices from you or your authorised agent add strikes, and three within 90 days lead to termination. If the reports are refused, legal notices and, in the EU, DSA notices are the next step.
Three Community Guidelines strikes within 90 days, or three copyright strikes within 90 days, lead to termination. YouTube can also terminate a channel after a single severe violation, or when the channel is dedicated to breaking its rules. Strikes come from valid, policy-based removals, not from the number of people who report.
No, and we won't try. Criticism, reviews, commentary and parody are allowed by YouTube's policies and protected by law in most countries, even when they are harsh. If specific videos cross into false statements of fact, threats or exposing your private information, those videos can be removed on their own.
Report it under YouTube's impersonation policy and, if your name or logo is a registered trademark, consider YouTube's trademark complaint process. Warn your audience on your real channels and save evidence of anyone the fake channel contacted. If you want us to run it, we quote after reviewing the channel and the evidence you have.
Because the work varies widely. A clear impersonation channel can come down on one well-evidenced report; a harassment channel with hundreds of uploads may need a documented pattern, several copyright notices and an EU or legal escalation. We quote after reviewing it, and you pay only when it's removed.
YouTube's rules prohibit creating a new channel to get around a termination. Keep a record of the original channel and its removal, so the next report can show the link between them. We take repeat channels into account when we quote.
