Ask HN: Anyone else having YouTube remove private videos?

Ask HN: Anyone else having YouTube remove private videos?
10 by pgrote | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I upload home videos to YouTube as a backup to my local storage. They are marked as private videos. In the last week, YouTube has flagged for deletion 2 of the videos as being against their community guidelines. Since they have my children in the videos, I assume this is fallout from elsagate. I appealed the first flagging since I couldn't tell what was wrong with it. It seems this is an automated process since none of my questions in the appeal were answered. The removals do not cause a negative effect on your account. A couple of questions: 1) Has anyone else had private videos removed from YouTube? 2) Is there a way to contact support at YouTube for a specific reason as to why the video was removed? Thanks.
