They will not stop at nootropics, nor psychedelics; They will stop at nothing.
It would be good for YouTube to remove these and other scam videos.

Thanks for sharing this article. I was shocked when they removed my channel for things like this.

Problem is medical claims are highly regulated in the West. So there is a likely legal liability for youtube in the US and in the UK. In fact, they might have already had pressure from regulators.
I always made it very clear not to make medical claims.
Re: YouTube Is Removing Some Nootropics Channels
#154The question I have about this, gun related content and anything else that is "A violation of our T&C" is this: when does YouTube/FB/whatever stop being a safe harbor according to the DMCA? Which special interest group (NRA?) is going to bankroll the law suit against Google for hosting copyrighted content without permission and that they are entirely liable because they're exercising editorial control? Or is the safe harbor provision toothless because Google is a giant?

“Nothing illegal, no medical advice offered, I've always been incredibly careful about this.” The article then goes on to name several videos with titles like "increase energy," "improve concentration and memory," "improve sleep," etc. Are there any lawyers around who know of a legal definition for "medical advice" or "medical claims?" Because these videos sound a lot like medical advice despite his insistence that t…
While I disagree that the titles are medical advice, I do see your point. It's funny because actually my YouTube mentor suggested use titles like that so people who didn't know what the products were could get an idea for what they were used for. I still made disclaimers in my videos.

>while science isn't saying you should use magnesium for sleep per se, it isn't necessarily a crazy idea taking nutritional supplements without any evidence that they accomplish anything useful and without a physician's advice is generally a bad idea (the default mode is not 'take until suggested otherwise' but 'only take if necessary'), and trying to make money off it by marketing them on youtube is even more misera…
It was really just my intent to share my experience, and I wasn't selling the magnesium.

> There's a difference between "removing false/misleading videos that perpetuate a scam" and Fahrenheit 451 reply Where does that leave Alex Jones, then? It's called a slippery slope for a reason.
Alex Jones should certainly be kicked off of YouTube and it's a shame he hasn't yet been.
The last line of that article mentioning Alex Jones being active and me getting shut down is certainly wild lol.

Those are called non-functional claims and are allowed in the US.
Any time you see something non-specific like "boosts the immune system" or "increases energy" it means the product is likely worthless because those claims don't actually mean anything.

If that’s your version of very clear, maybe you shouldn’t be giving people advice.
