I hope WhiteHatJr just up and dies. They are a terrible company, manipulative and taking advantage of clueless parents.

Sounds terrible. How are his accounts being taken down?
WhiteHat Jr. abuses the DMCA and copyright policies to take down accounts and content. There was this article [1] where they detailed it really well (its a long article and requires login) > It seems that fairly early on, WhiteHat Jr figured out that it can create temporary nuisance for everyone by reporting their video as a copyright or trademark infringement. Which is why after say, 15-30 days, several of Poonia’s…

#77What is WhiteHat JR? It teaches coding to kids of age 6 charging upto 1500$ for 100 clases. To sum up, this is very high amount from any standar, parents take loan to fund this. Second, they use black hat marketing tactics claiming 10year old student now earns million of dollars. I'm not sure if there tactics are even legal. Platforms like FB, Google should fact-check on ads. Seriously how can you believe a kid is ea…
I know a 12yo Indian kid who is maintaining Ubuntu Unity. Though, I am pretty sure he didn't study at WhiteHatJr.
unless you're posting names/social media handles i'm guessing you're a whitehat jr employee.
i pre-emptively apologise, don't sue me.

You should say "by not studying at WhiteHatJr, it enabled him to be a maintainer of Ubuntu Unity". ;-)

#79Current title on HN: Indian Startup WhiteHatJr files suit against reviewer exposing fake ads
Title on article: WhiteHat Jr and the curious case of disappearing dissent
Actual subject matter: an entity abusing YouTube’s copyright systems to suppress negative comments on their advertisements (giving examples of one case of fun mockery and one finding inconsistencies in allegations made by the ads), and YouTube handling things typically badly.
I see no mention whatsoever of WhiteHat Jr filing suit, and the article is much more about the abuse of the Content ID system and copyright law than about whether the ads make illegitimate claims (though it’s certainly not painting WhiteHat Jr in a favourable light even apart from their attempts at suppression of dissent).

The original post reads "he didn't study at WhiteHatJr". I think it was a satire, as I found it was a pretty funny remark. I believe you are pointing your finger at the wrong person.
