*Impact: The Reporters' Collective investigated ANI A few days ago. Now prominent Youtubers are coming out in public confirming our story.* At least three have now said ANI was trying to extort money from them in the name of questionable copyright claims. And that YouTube's policy is to blame as well. Read and watch: https://x.com/reporters_co/status/1926577012354719887 If you ever wondered why investigative journalism is needed to hold the powerful to account. Here is proof.

*FollowUp Investigation:* YouTube claims it doesn't play umpire on copyright claims by orgs like ANI. We found evidence that it uses discretionary and opaque rules to decide the fate of YouTubers. Read Ayushi's follow up investigation: https://www.reporters-collective.in/trc/youtube-says-it-doesnt-judge-copyright-violation-we-found-it-does https://x.com/reporters_co/status/1927322457255403644 We can pursue such reportage doggedly because you have our back.
