YouTuber Oleksandr, who successfully challenged YouTube in court over an AI-generated channel ban, has not had his “Chase Car” account reinstated, according to new public statements from the creator.

The creator’s channel was previously terminated after YouTube’s automated systems flagged it for policy violations. A court later ruled that the platform had not provided sufficient evidence to justify the termination and found in the creator’s favor. Despite the ruling, the channel remains inactive. The creator said he intends to file a complaint with an Irish regulatory authority in an effort to compel YouTube to restore access.

“An independent legal body ruled YouTube was WRONG. The best part? YouTube defended itself during the process, but could not show what I had violated. I WON. Here’s where it gets terrifying – My channel is STILL terminated,” Oleksandr posted on X.

YouTube has not issued a public comment specifically addressing why the channel has not been reinstated or how the court decision fits into its internal appeal processes. The platform’s help documentation states that terminated channels may appeal once within a defined period; however, it does not outline how external legal findings influence reinstatement decisions.

Oleksandr said he plans to pursue additional regulatory steps to ensure the court’s ruling is applied. The case yet again sparked a conversation on how platforms handle moderation disputes, including whether appeal procedures, automated enforcement systems and reinstatement processes should be updated to offer greater clarity.

Until any changes are introduced, creators may continue to view algorithmic moderation with caution, given the potential impact of enforcement errors on revenue.
