Resolved Question

Youtube vid you dont like on someones account

Jan 5, 2015 12:15AM PST

My question is a client of mine has found a YouTube video about them on a random Google search by there employer. (which now my client doesn't think much of the employer for randomly Google searching them without her permission)

What is said on the video is not true nor accurate in any way of my client. What my client wants to know is how can one go threw the proper channels of you tube to get it preminately removed?


Any advice would be helpful myself and my client would be highly appreciative of your wisdom.

his employer has just as much rights to search youtube as anyone else does.

The employee has ultimate say over content that includes him with some exceptions for what's filmed in a public setting. For instance the police have tried and failed to get legal rulings that would allow them to legally force public videos of them during some arrest off youtube. If there's an element of slander, libel, then the employee has some legal leverage to get the content removed from Youtube. Whether rightly or wrongly, the person could claim he has copyright to the content, not the person displaying it, and probably manage to have it removed. It's easier for him to claim copyright than the other person.

That is why you are careful what you put on the internet

An employer that asks for your facebook id and password is to be avoided but what is public is fair game.

In short, don't post yourself snorting coke or injecting heroin or robbing the local convenience store or telling how much you hate your boss.
