Youtube cutting off their monetisation is not the same as putting the person in jail.

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.

That's the only context innocent until proven guilty ever existed, so yeah, you actually kind of did

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.

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.
