Since when did innocent until proven guilty stop being a thing? Not defending anyone here, just seems that principle is all but forgotten in modern society.
That's only a legal principle - he's not in jail, is he? Individuals and organizations can do whatever they want. It has nothing to do with modern society.
Punishing people based on accusations isn’t just.
Since when are corporations actions based on justice?
Is this him being punished or YouTube protecting it's brand?
No, punishment by the state based on accusations isn't just.
He should be able to sue youtube for a nice settlement (if he is in the right), maybe? Idealistically, that should keep such bullshit in check.
But then again, youtube probably has "Youtube reserves the right to do fucking anything to you" in its TOS that everybody just skips.

Then he'll sue
Youtube cutting off their monetisation is not the same as putting the person in jail.
I didn’t say it was?
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.
Because cutting off monetisation has nothing to do with being proven guilty or not.
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.
That's the only context innocent until proven guilty ever existed, so yeah, you actually kind of did
Yes you did
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.
It's not the legal system, it's a heartless corporation trying to maximize their revenue. Capitalizing on the situation.
That's for criminal liability to attach. Not public opinion.
You do realize that innocent until proven guilty only applies with the government, right? Normal people and companies do not have to extend the same luxury. Hell our military doesn't even give that luxury.
It applies to morally sound people as well as in law.
I've been accused and then shunned after some valuables went missing at a house party.
I was the only minority. Nobody dared to stand up for me and everybody just pointed fingers to the weakest individual.
Branded as a thief despite my life long upstanding morality, career, ethics.
