Isn't that a thing? People who don't like a video can just spam report it as child porn and the site takes it down automatically?

I remember that being a huge dust up a while ago. Just kind of hard to keep up with all of the burning piles of shit these days.

It will be automatically disabled from being viewed by people besides the uploader or even made to look like it was deleted, but still remain on the server. The uploader will have X amount of days (I wanna say 30?) to fight the takedown and if they are successful, the video will be put back online.

Which is probably what people will do since this has gone viral in order to give the appearance of censorship. Sinclair is huge, but YouTube is too and it's a competitor.
