Dr. Ludwig vs hatespeech accusation
Donation protected
In the past months Youtube created new policies. Policies which try to attack anyone creating content about culture, identity and history, especially the one about Germany and Europe. They call German folk songs hatespeech and even strike playlists and harmless marches.
They deleted my channel Dr. Ludwig on the 1st of August, a channel with over 100.000 subs with no monetarisation, who brought a large international audience together, enjoying historical German songs and history content. And they attacked the newly created side channels, clearly showing that they won´t stop or listen to appeals.
But other Youtubers from that scene successfully got their channels back, when taking a lawyer, which is why I will do the same. A nearby lawyer will listen to my case and write to Youtube. But even a normal lawyer is expensive and wants at least 160,00 € + taxes per hour, which is why I start this campaign to ask my community for help.
Every Cent of the donations will be used for the lawyer costs and every Cent that will be left after a hopefully successful intervention will be donated to another organisation that fights against the hatespeech accusations of Youtube as well.
Every single € is helping me to cover the costs for our fight against Youtube's unfair methods. If we don´t resist and don´t complain it will become worse, which is why I think we must do this, to keep our freedom of speech and arts on Youtube.
My plan is to contact the lawyer next week, depending on how successfully this campaign is. Think about all the entertainment you got from those song videos and if all the work I did on many weekends is worth just a few €.
I hope that some of you will help me in this fight!
