    Youtube cutting off their monetisation is not the same as putting the person in jail.

        You did though. Innocent until proven guilty is a legal concept, not a business concept. Businesses are allowed to choose who to do business with.

        Then why are you framing your post like it was? If you get accused of raping a woman and you’re going on live TV wearing your employee uniform defending yourself, your employer is firing you 10 out of 10 times.

        You’re literally quoting a law that is used in court about penalties and it’s still up there. You forgot to delete before saying you didn’t say it. You’re both lazy and stupid.
