Asked in Consumer Law, Business Law and Civil Rights for New York

Q: Looking for laws to prevent unfair punishment with false reasons using unrelated guidelines.

A YouTube video reviewer is bullying me by demonetizing my videos, claiming they violate YouTube guidelines.

Specifically, they cite the guideline regarding profanity in the first 7 seconds of the video, bolstering their stance.

However, it's evident that there is no profanity in my videos, and they are being unfairly demonetized based on a completely false interpretation of the guidelines.

I'm wondering if there are any laws that can protect me from being falsely penalized using inaccurate justifications and unrelated guidelines as reasoning.
