Sure, but imagine your employer just fired you because of accusations before it ever reached trial. Illegal? No. Ruining someone's livelihood even though they're innocent legally speaking? Yes.
Not defending this person, I genuinely do not even know who they are. But "private company can do whatever they want, your rights are only something the government has to care about" is a pretty concerning position to take. Not to mention they didn't seem to take down or stop running ads on the channel, just stopped giving him the money. They're profiting off of his content without paying him and using an unverified (but very possibly accurate) accusation as an excuse. That should be illegal.
I would hope my job would fire me if there were a dozen complaints about me ranging from mental abuse to rape over the span of over a decade.
I agree with you about Google just pocketing any money made off him though, that's messed up
The influx of libertarian dead minded commenters here is exhausting. Too concerned with zero tolerance rules to even consider the details or understand the difference. I thought Reddit was bad.
When YouTube disables monetization they stop running any ads on the channel. Other articles like this one are clearer on that matter.
Don't kkow too much about him but I liked him in this video.
