Abusing the DMCA to take down videos stealing user funds seems... questionable.


Completely agree. It should be on YouTube to do that and not a 3rd party.


Nice that they are admitting to perjury on twitter like that.


As other threads have pointed out, Google's copyright violation system is a process that's private. It's before the DMCA laws get involved.

So maybe it's a ToS violation?

(This isn't defending the person issuing copyright strikes. Their behavior, right or wrong, just isn't perjury. I think. Good thing I'm not anyone's lawyer.)
