My best friend got locked out of his Google account over some videos he uploaded to YT in 2007. They got flagged only last month and his account got locked. He even has trouble with his Gapps on his Android phone.
I told him long time ago to deGoogle himself as much as possible but he didn't listen. Now he can't access anything. It's ridiculous. But that's Google for ya.
This happened to me too. in 2008 I uploaded a video clip from a rural Canadian TV station news show. In 2017 they finally got on the Web and immediately DMCA'd my ass. Luckily it was on an account I don't use anymore.
