My 13 year old son's Youtube account (not just channel) was banned without explanation or recourse. Multiple appeals resulted only in generic "stay in the corner and reflect on what you've done" replies but no indication of what he did wrong.
Even if he did upload something questionable, or his account was hacked or whatever the case may be, why ban his paid Youtube Premium account and not just the channel? Why not share the so-called questionable content with the parent so I can help him avoid another strike in future?
Even if opening another Gmail account is trivial, the hassle of setting up Google Family, Youtube Premium, Fortnite, Steam and every other account linked to his Gmail address is a massive pain.
Not sure where I'm going with this other than Google doesn't seem to care about paying customers.
South Africa won't allow Starlink unless it meets local BEE requirements. As a result several ISPs are importing and registering Starlink in neighbouring countries, allowing us to stay online during almost daily load shedding caused by our crumbling, government owned power utility Eskom.
For those of us who want to minimize our reliance on a corrupt, incompetent government Starlink is invaluable as it allows us to go completely off-grid. Power and water is one thing, but without Starlink our mobile and fibre networks can still go down when the backup batteries inevitably run out.
