YouTube demonetizes Russell Brand citing his harmful ‘off-platform behavior'

Confused? Is this Thread about mega-cybercorp knee jerk reactions or the allegations it has knee-jerked to? Youtube seems very confident there will be no repercussions for them - or perhaps just too rich to care.

After the dust has settled, Brand may be in a position to sue for loss of earnings.

Are they going to approah them, arrest them, take them into custody?

Or are they just asking accusers to come forward?

I couldn’t find the bit you quoted......so much text to go through.....maybe you could say roughly where abouts it says what you quoted?

Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre is a good case to note.
She was 17 when she went with Prince Andrew. Not illegal by UK laws. If it was, he would of been prosecuted.

Guffaw!!!!

Establishment, working for the Establishment would have told the Establishment to leave the Establishment alone!

Interesting, the past 16 yr. old accuser (now 30 yrs old) is advocating for the consent law to be changed as well as others.

The alleged victim, who told the Sunday Times that Brand had a three-month relationship with her which started in 2006, has called for a debate around staggered ages of consent.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour this week, the woman known by the alias Alice said it was time to “start to think about changing” the law and “staggered ages of consent”.

“There’s a reasonable argument [that] individuals between the ages of 16 and 18 can have relations with people within that same age bracket,” she said, adding that there should be a way to prevent older adults from exploiting 16- and 17-year-olds. “You’re allowed to make mistakes as a teenager, they should be with other people your own age.”

“The current law is problematic because it is creating a space where people don’t think relationships between young, potentially vulnerable people and someone much older is unacceptable,” said Jayne Butler, CEO of Rape Crisis England and Wales. She said one potential area that could be explored was extending the current provision under the 2003 Sexual Offences Act, which makes it illegal to take part in sexual activity with someone under 18 if you are someone in a position of trust such as a teacher.

Butler said she recognised concerns about criminalising consensual sex between teens of a similar age, but added: “We need to explore what can be put in place to make it clearer what is or is not OK. But this not just about changing laws, it’s about changing attitudes.”

Laura Bates, the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project and author of Men Who Hate Women, said a debate about the law was needed as she regularly encountered teenagers during school visits who “don’t realise that it’s possible to be raped by somebody who they consider to be their boyfriend”.

But any shift in the law would only be “a piece of the puzzle”, she added. “Our society doesn’t blink an eye about the predatory nature of much older men engaging in relationships with much younger women,” she said. “We can’t just keep saying ‘things have changed’. At some point we have to realise that nothing has changed; that this is still completely socially acceptable.”

Can you just answer the question please?

....if she was less than 16 i guess a car accident would of been more fitting.

Still, i can see the angle where he wasn't prosecuted for it in this country. If it comes to the US law, i don't know how that works. but still, irrelevant to this page.

"WHAT !?!? We currently have a Right Wing Government ??? Are you out of your mind this is the most Left Wing Government we've had since Carter"?

Ahem. I was talking about the UK?

So what we have so far it's just allegations upon which YouTube reacted and demonetized Brand making some ridiculous statement in an attempt to justify the unjustifiable

We have suspended monetization on Russell Brand's channel for violating our creator responsibility policy. If a creator's off-platform behavior harms our users, employees or ecosystem, we take action to protect the community.

.

It seems they want to reduce his profits to zero after him earning about one million pounds per year. They don't seem to have the guts to suspend his channel completely. After all he was harming the environment and the ecosystem...

No...it's not important

They have more than accusations, one of the women has a report in the police station which they are investigating. Scotland Yard is investigating and BBC is investigating.

Being a predator isn't a crime......

yikes, sometimes few words reveal a lot about people

a reply to: quintessentone

Accusations and allegations are all they have until they find evidence to prove otherwise.

Kind of how an investigation works....

Having an understanding about law and life doesn't mean i'm a predator.....
I think it's more of a character trait.

cheers all the same
