Windows 11 videos demonstrating account and hardware requirements bypass purged from YouTube creator's channel — platform says content ‘encourages dangerous or illegal activities that risk serious physical harm or death’

A YouTube creator's videos demonstrating how to bypass Windows 11 limitations were removed for violating community guidelines, with the platform citing content that could encourage dangerous or illegal activities. The creator, Rich from CyberCPU Tech, suspected AI flagged the videos but later speculated Microsoft's involvement. YouTube did not provide a clear reason for the takedowns, leading to Rich's frustration and self-censorship. The removal raises questions about whether it was AI or Microsoft behind the action, impacting users considering Windows 11 upgrades as Windows 10 support ends.
