YouTube Undoes Ban on Pokémon GO Videos Confusing CP for Child Porn

You’d think that after becoming the most successful mobile app of all time, just about everyone would at least know about Pokémon GO at this point. Or at least Google would. But only now are they undoing a number of bans, confusing Combat Power for Child Porn.

As any trainer would know, Pokémon in the game are measured by their Combat Power, abbreviated to CP. In an unfortunate coincidence, this is the same abbreviation for child pornography. Thanks to Google’s automated policing system. This caused a number of YouTube accounts to be flagged for inappropriate sexual content, despite not having any. This even cut off access to their Gmail accounts, making emailing difficult.

Only recently have these accounts been reinstated and full access granted once again.

Google has not commented on the initial bans, nor on their recent reinstation. The changes happened after each content creator manually requested a secondary review. This implies that it was their automated system that banned them, and was only fixed after a real human took a look.

This is on par for YouTube as of late. Countless content creators have been speaking out against the platform’s lack of human interaction and the frequent abuse of automated features. Usually, this is seen in fraudulent copyright strikes, but false child porn claims are there too.
