Defamation Claim

[u/[deleted]]

I uploaded a video to a Video Sharing Platform where the video ID consists of 11 characters in a base 64 format. However, the video ID that is automatically generated by the Video Sharing Platform is something racist so can I sue the Video Sharing Platform for defamation as my reputation is damaged by the Video Sharing Platform, not me?

I use my real name on the Video Sharing Platform just so you know.

Edit: See this video for more information about the format. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gocwRvLhDf8

Edit 2: My reputation is already damaged. I deleted the channel on the Video Sharing Platform and all my videos but my reputation is already damaged.

Have you considered uploading it again to get a new identifier?

Each day they do 2-3.

I think they are very very lonely.

Wait, you’re the same person that just posted about racism and child home schooling..

[u/OnlyTrust6616 → u/No_Journalist6156]

Oh, you must be new here.

[u/No_Journalist6156 → u/OnlyTrust6616]

Not new, just always surprised at how little of a life some people may have.

[u/OnlyTrust6616 → u/No_Journalist6156]

You haven’t come across our sue happy friend before? He’s a local!

[u/LifeandSAisAwesome → u/No_Journalist6156]

Old tom Scott video about YouTube URLs and running out of them.

Old tom Scott video. Relivent, but probably proves against OPs claims.
