Youtube Suspended, Appealed, Silenced Again: The Strange Case of My Truth Channel

In an age where digital platforms claim to champion free speech and transparency, the sudden suspension of a long-standing YouTube channel—Truth Exposed Corruption and Scandals—raises troubling questions.

Originally launched before 2009 and previously cleared of violations after a successful appeal, the channel was recently taken down again, this time under accusations of spam. This article explores the inconsistencies in YouTube’s enforcement and highlights the kind of content that was targeted—videos exposing real-world corruption, already publicly available elsewhere at the time.

The videos included Police brutality, recordings of Jimmy Savile caught on tape, and speeches made at Bilderberg when it was hosted at a Hotel in Watford. We still have our old Video Documentary website.

Background and Timeline of Channel Suspension

A YouTube channel of ours, created before 2014 under the name Truth Sets You Free and Exposes Corruption and Lies, was suspended approximately eight years ago. Despite the long gap, I submitted an appeal last year—seven years after I noticed a link suggesting I could appeal, so I did—also based on the fact that our other channels have remained active even though some of those channels contain one or two copyrighted videos that got flagged but never removed, suggesting a consistent pattern of fair treatment.

In response to our appeal, YouTube reviewed the original channel and sent the following message:

“After taking another look, we can confirm that your channel does not violate our Community Guidelines.”

YouTube’s practices seem to have changed, confirming that the original suspension was either mistaken or no longer justified.

Recent Suspension and Concerns

However, one year after that successful appeal, the same channel—now renamed Truth Exposed Corruption and Scandals—was suspended again. This time, YouTube cited a different reason:

“We have reviewed your channel carefully and confirmed that it violates our spam, deceptive practices and scams policy.”

This sudden reversal raises serious questions. The channel had already been cleared of violations, and its content remained consistent with the themes of exposing corruption and promoting transparency. The new justification feels inconsistent and potentially targeted.

Given the timing and nature of the second suspension, I’m left wondering whether external influence or internal bias may have played a role. The situation warrants closer scrutiny—not just of the policy enforcement, but of how appeals and re-reviews are handled behind the scenes.

What now!!

Rebuilding the Narrative and Sharing the Truth

Our next step is to reconstruct the story—not just through words, but through visuals that speak louder than speculation. We’ll revisit the types of videos that once lived on the original channel, including those that highlighted real-world injustices, whistleblower accounts, and documented patterns of institutional failure. Where possible, we’ll reference or embed publicly available versions of similar content still circulating online. This isn’t about recycling old footage—it’s about showing that the truth hasn’t disappeared, even if one channel has.

We’ll also feature legitimate, high-profile examples of government scandals that have been widely reported in mainstream media. One such case is The Post Office Scandal, which aired on ITV and sparked national outrage. The series dramatised the wrongful prosecution of hundreds of sub-postmasters, revealing systemic failures and cover-ups that went unchecked for years. Its impact was felt across news outlets and social media, proving that public awareness can lead to accountability.

Why This Matters

This project isn’t just about one channel—it’s about the broader issue of digital censorship, selective enforcement, and the fragility of platforms that claim to support free expression. We aim to empower viewers and readers to question what they’re told, seek out credible sources, and recognise patterns of lies when they appear.

We believe that truth should never be penalised, and that exposing corruption is a public service, not a violation. Through this article and videos, we hope to share and connect with others.

My background is that I am a big fan of the BBC’s Panorama programme, Channel 4’s Dispatches, and, more recently ITV – all feature investigative reporting and true story dramas.
