YouTube channel hacked, suspended or banned

Yes. Our account recovery lawyers act for clients in the United States, as well as across the EU and worldwide. We build the file, send a legal demand letter to the YouTube legal team and follow up until the channel is restored.

The flat fee is $950 for the United States and the rest of the world, or €850 in the European Union, all inclusive, with a written fee agreement and a reply within 24 hours.

A YouTube account is a Google account: the official recovery flow (accounts.google.com) lets you report the loss of your recovery email and phone number, with verification questions based on your account history.

When this automated channel fails, which is common, we rebuild proof of your digital identity (ID documents, YouTube Premium or Google One invoices, AdSense history for creators, past Google emails) and demand an adversarial identity verification under the rectification right in Article 16 of the GDPR, backed by a legal demand letter sent to the competent Google entity.

Immediately preserve all evidence of your previous control of the account: old Google sign-in emails, channel screenshots, identifiers, AdSense or subscription invoices.

Report the hack through Google's dedicated form, then file a criminal complaint for identity theft and fraudulent access to a data processing system: the complaint is strong evidence in the legal demand letter we then send to Google to obtain restoration of the account and reversal of the hacker's changes.

Based on the hundreds of cases handled by the firm, the average timeframe is around one month from the date our legal demand letter reaches the platform. Straightforward files, such as an erroneous suspension or a well-documented hacking, are often resolved faster; accounts presented as permanently banned or files involving repeated violations require a denser legal argument and may take longer.

Google, YouTube's parent company, may decide to suspend or terminate your channel if it detects a violation of its terms of service or community guidelines. However, since its judgment is mostly algorithm-based, errors are frequent. That's where we step in: to make Google see reason and reverse its decision.

Yes. We act for clients from every country of origin. Wherever you live in the European Union, from Germany to Spain or Poland, we rely on the DSA and the GDPR. In the United States, we act under the platform's US terms.

Anywhere else, we build the case on the terms of service you accepted, on the consumer and data protection rules of your country of residence, and on the remedies open before the group entity that actually controls the account (Meta Platforms Inc., TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, Snap Inc. or Google LLC depending on the service). We work in English and several other languages.

Yes. The DSA and the GDPR are EU regulations: they apply in the same way in all 27 Member States.

Whether you live in Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Ireland or any other Member State, our legal demand letter is served on Google Ireland Limited, the entity that handles YouTube accounts for Europe, on the same legal grounds and at the same flat fee. The whole case is handled remotely, in English and several other languages.

Yes. A United States YouTube account is governed by the Google Terms of Service concluded with Google LLC, which designate California law and the courts of Santa Clara County. The DSA does not apply to that contract, so our legal demand letter relies on the commitments Google has taken in its terms, on applicable California consumer rules, and on direct escalation to Google's counsel.

We then assess whether a court filing in the designated forum or continued escalation is the more effective route, working alongside US counsel where local representation is required. The fee can be quoted in dollars, from $950 USD.

We find that in the overwhelming majority of cases handled by our firm, when it is indeed an error on Google's part during suspension or termination, or in cases of hacking, we succeed in recovering our clients' YouTube channels. Note that we also intervene if your appeal has been previously rejected by Google.

Our fee is fixed and agreed in writing upfront: professional ethics rules do not allow lawyers to tie their fees to the outcome, so you always know exactly what you pay.

Yes. We frequently intervene to contest abusive strikes (copyright infringement warnings) and fraudulent Content ID claims. We send a legal demand letter to Google and, if necessary, initiate a counter-notification procedure compliant with the DMCA, with European law or with the law applicable in your country of residence.

Our fees, from €850 (European Union) or $950 (United States and worldwide), include: building your case and analyzing your supporting documents, drafting the contextualized and legally substantiated legal demand letter, sending by tracked registered or certified mail to Google, exchanges and negotiations directly with Google, assistance in guiding you through restoring your channel.

This flat fee covers one account: if several accounts are involved, a tailored quote is provided. Your fixed fee is confirmed in writing before we start.

No, we are a fully independent law firm. We rely on the European regulations and, for clients outside the European Union, on the rules applicable in their own jurisdiction.

A termination presented as permanent by Google is not legally irreversible. As long as the channel and AdSense data remains stored on Google's servers, restoration remains technically possible and legally enforceable when the statement of reasons is deficient under Article 17 of the DSA or when the alleged facts are erroneous.

Yes. When amicable and out-of-court avenues fail, we file interim relief proceedings before the competent court to obtain reactivation and, where appropriate, compensation for the prejudice suffered.

For YouTube channels operated professionally (Partner Program, AdSense, brand partnerships), the action is brought before the competent commercial court to obtain compensation for business losses, lost advertising revenue and harm to commercial image.
