> I don't know what scrutiny scares them
To be fair, YouTube/Google just had an active shooter on their campus. If there's anything that justifies terminating someone's account, it would be opening fire on the company directly and injuring people.

As far as I can tell it's technically not... in fact, I can't even find a blanket "YouTube reserves the right to remove any content, for any reason, whatsoever" statement. They don't actually need to state that in the TOS, because they do have that right, but, still.
Still interesting to see that there's no blanket termination policy, though. I stand thoroughly corrected.
Section 6(F): "YouTube reserves the right to remove Content without prior notice."
For the second, I assumed that "if your content was removed for a reason we justified here, we don't have to warn you beforehand."
I'm no lawyer though and I'm sure in court those clauses would be summarily smacked across my face one way or the other.
