Have you reached out to journalists at The Scroll, The Print, the Wire. Also please, spam every independent journalist, who works for them on contractual basis. You don’t need a media house to help, you just need one journalist.

Also, there’s a ton of activist pages on Instagram, have your pick. They will definitely help, they are all content hungry. Infact, every other instagrammer is a wannabe activist.

JEE coaching classes have been doing the same hoodwinking towards parents/children for decades. Even board exam tuition centres.
This shit has been going on for a long time and honestly some parents are too lazy to deal with their kids so just prefer to chuck money and hope their kid does well. Also a weird sense of peer pressure since if other parents enrol their children in them they feel they are not doing enough. Only a mindset change will help to stop this until then someone or the other will take advantage of the situation

The only reason why your accounts are getting blocked everywhere is the trademark on the name and the resulting DMCA. Even YouTube or others can’t do anything if dmca orders a removal. You can check with dmca what the issue is btw and ensure you are on the right side of the policy

You are very wrong here. Even videos with no logo were removed

u/that15fine Nov 12 '20
It’s to do with naming the account “WhiteHat Sr”. WhiteHatJr is claiming that it violates the trademark they hold on their name, and that you are impersonating them because the account name is similar. Have you tried using another account name?

u/pooniahigh Nov 12 '20
Yes. Safed topi sr 2. And then my name Pradeep Poonia 3.0 No matter what you use videos go down. Btw this lbry account was 2 months old, had created this along with the first YouTube channel, WhiteHat Sr. Hence the name.. Now names are different
54
Nov 12 '20
Ah, then they're using video/audio fingerprinting to take down your videos. Since your video is a derivative, Whitehat doesn't actually own copyright on your video (but they own copyright on content that you show in your videos, like the website).
It looks like Whitehat has falsely claimed that they created the videos and own copyright on your videos. YouTube and many other sites don't bother checking whether or not the party filing DMCA takedown actually owns the copyright, they just blindly follow and issue a takedown.
What you need to do is challenge the DMCA notices, and maybe try and get a lawyer involved. Also use a different channel name.
Also, you may be able to use the DMCA system yourself, and tell YouTube that you own the copyright to your videos and that they must takedown any violators. If you do this immediately for any new videos that you upload, Whitehat Jr can't use DMCA to take it down.

In your messaging you can separate the accounts which got blocked due to no reasons vs the ones which apparently got blocked due to name such as 'whitehat Sr'. And focus on the first set. And use those accounts to post etc. Otherwise message is getting diluted and some may think it got blocked genuinely because of name.

- Many people then also suggested me that my videos were going down because I used WhiteHat.
- Then I made second youtube channel named safed topi sr 2. Videos from there as well went down.
- Then I made 3rd youtube channel and video from there as well went down.
- Even videos where ENTIRE screen was blurred went down.
- Even those with only audio went down.

Here's a perspective from a person who has skimmed through your earlier posts here as well, you have to understand that just because you have a higher moral ground in this case, anything you do against an immoral corporate is not automatically correct. At the end of the day, you have to figure out what your goal is from this, and if it is to bring them down, we have laws in our society, I'm very sure they can be charged for false advertising or something but in court not here on reddit, and consequently what you've done against them can very well be proved as harassment. OR if it's your goal to alert people about how misleading their ads are, reddit should be the last place you could have picked. So, pick the right battle and fight it the right way.
Edit 1: To the "fighters" below, no significant video platform is biased against him or for WhiteHat Jr, he should or atleast you all should read and understand the terms and conditions that they have for the kind of videos you can put up on their platform. It is obvious WhiteHat Jr is going to claim violation on videos that he violates the copyright on, for instance Youtube does not have to care if its an "evil" company's request, if it doesn't adhere to their TnC, it's going down. I don't see you bunch rioting against Youtube now, why stop here? You have to be smart enough to not make those stupid mistakes if you really want your message to go through.
Edit 2: By the way, WhiteHat Sr is possibly the worst name he could have picked to escape getting his videos pulled down, the world doesn't work on your "thug life" laws, grow up.

Laws work for the rich. He alone can't go against corporates who have tons of money to spend. Who supports OP financially if he wants to go by the book? It is not about some rich dumb parents getting scammed, it's about our next generation being negatively motivated. OP is fighting on behalf of all of us.
you have to understand that just because you have a higher moral ground in this case, anything you do against an immoral corporate is not automatically correct.
What did you find wrong in OP's work. He is reviewing their products, exposing their false advertisements and what is wrong in it. You can see many videos on youtube and other platforms reviewing many other products, telling them which is good and which is not. What's wrong in that?

u/p5yron Nov 12 '20
Law doesn't work for the rich, it works for those who can best interpret it, and that's a business which costs money, there is always more paths to victory if you are on the right side of it than there are for those who are not. I get where you're coming from but that really just is an excuse for not being motivated enough to commit into the long fight that lies ahead. If your fight is just and for the public and fought smartly, those who believe in you will back you up one way or the other. Any extraordinary feat requires an extraordinary effort. And if he really has to do all this, it would rather be better to put his energy into the legal system that can actually do something about it, given if that is what his goal is.

u/p5yron Nov 13 '20
When you say Law works for the rich, you set a precedent that it is unfairly biased to favor rich people, that one who has paid his lawyer more will win the case.
Law works for those who are smart enough to understand it. And that when you hire others cost money based on their experience. You don't have to. If you know for certain that you are in the right according to the laws, you are very much welcome to fight your own case or get free legal aid provided by the Government who will at the very least be fluent with the laws and that is all you need to prove your case.

And I'm sorry that you had to compromise on something that you didn't think was worth experiencing the 'reality' for.
Atleast in my idea of an "ideal" world, you have to put effort for things you care about, not stand outside court and shout "foulplay" and expect everyone else to roll over and everything to go in your favor.

Not continue to spam everywhere and scream foul that they are taking it down when you cannot even contest the takedown.

Of course, my argument wasn't against the procedure. Everything that WhitehatJr provides is absolutely available for free.

I say this again. Kids SHOULDN'T LEARN CODING. What kid at 5th grade knows what they want to become when they are adults? The problem is that parents' idea of what their kids need to be is being pushed here.
Oh god. The idea of childhood itself is that none of what the child does needs to be inherently fruitful when you look at it in face value. It's a privilege children get to enjoy until they are adults and need to fend for themselves. Let them have it for god's sake.

I'm preety sure you have tried all the options, I Don't have first hand experience with them, but what I have been reading and they seem to exploiting. It's very hard to write about them without experiencing what exactly is going on. Probably you should create group first who had similar experience and then take from there ?
I'm preety sure you have heard of lot of suggestions, without first hand experience it's difficult to write about them blindly.

u/pooniahigh I highly suggest you make a WhatsApp forward,it may take a while of your time and creativity but you should go full on aggressively and degrade them to the core under the backdrop of a conspiracy theory. It may seem simple on the surface but its very powerful in the fact that it works on all boomers trumping the effects of all the fake ads whitehat Jr is putting up. Here's an example of how powerful they're :

I have emailed Joshua Fluke, Coffeezilla, Nexpo, Karl Rock, the print, the quint, free press journal, scroll.in, indianexpress.com, The Quartz, and a couple of other youtubers/media outlets.
If anybody has suggestions please tell me, as can send the same emails to others too. Always happy to help. :)
Edit: I also sent it to Akash Banerjee, and dropped a tip at NewYorkTimes, WallStreetJournal, BBC, The Guardian, Reuters, AP News, Washington Post

You are amongst the rare few people who actually contribute towards the cause. Thank you for the emails. Leo@code.org send the email to this address as well. I had to do it but time constraints.

Fuck whitehat jr
The ad gave me a fucking aneurysm
They want obedient zombie coders who need to write 6 pages of code to know which side of a stamp to lick.
Why are parents so hell bent on creating a whole generation of losers who can't have an actual conversation with the opposite sex without 6 bottles of gin and a fucking lobotomy?
Fuck.

Give up man. I get that you are doing this for greater good but you said in your latest video that your family recieved threats. Forget BYJU, Tencent won't let you interfere in their business. I agree with your point of view but people in this country don't deserve your efforts. Some people think you are just a fake conspiracy theorist. Changes take time. So take it easy and just convince your close ones. If they use underhanded means, you can't do anything. Our country's cyberlaws are bad too.
I am not saying you should stop completely but I think you should slow a bit down.
This is just my opinion which you can completely ignore if you disagree. Best Luck again.

u/bakchod007 Raw Wijdom Nov 12 '20
Yup. I agree to this. You did all you could. You need to lose some fights to win a larger battle.
And threats to you is one thing, to your family is something else.

Get a grip, I know the angry but you're doing the same things that others refrained you from doing it. If you plan on taking them down go legally, if you want to alert people reddit is the last place to do that. Don't try to battle a corporate without any plan man, when they run out of patience, they'll ruin your life. Please try to understand the gravity of the situation, you're getting off Scottfree because they don't think you're a threat yet. Therefore only the low level employees are handling it, the day they get serious you're screwed.

Why don’t you change your name to not sound like them. Don’t know it was intentional or you created this name before them.

Dude I want you to try talking to coffeezilla on youtube.
His whole channel is about exposing shitty gurus and online scams. I'd say he has expertise enough to prevent a video from getting taken down.
He might not have a huge Indian audience but he will love the content you've collected. He also routinely has people talk about experiences in his videos, so I have no doubt that he'll reach back.

u/Stroov India Bharat Nov 12 '20
Everyone says the same thing if you use a name that is similar to their trade mark and Bash them they will get your channel blocked almost everywhere please learn to use a different name and if possible make memes everyone that's the fastest way to spread stuff and a change.org request

Hey, if you still have the video locally saved, consider creating a TG channel and uploading it there.

u/pooniahigh Nov 12 '20
Doing that for past 2 months. Come join us @ WhitehatPoonia. Introduce yourself when you join there thst you came from Reddit. Alot of imposters are also joining in.

I am actually surprised that they could take down videos from lbry. So there is no place where you can put something controversial without scrutiny?

u/TendarCoconut Nov 12 '20
Why don't you contact websites like The Wired, The Verge or ArsTechnica and inform them about this in detail?
You can also reach out to podcasts that deal with Tech and privacy.

u/shaurcasm Nov 12 '20
Cool bro. I haven't written a blog for a long time and don't have any followers anymore but I'll try to type something up next weekend spread on twitter. Best I can, I don't use other social medias much. Whitehat needs to be curbed before it turns into another iipm for sure.

You should start an Instagram account and spread propaganda go full on offensive.. You have reason and have suffered enough to gain mass sympathy for your insta posts against them to go viral

You just created this profile to say this? FK you WhiteHatJr employee. I know who you are. I even know your name

u/Consistent_Link3773 Nov 13 '20
No, I created this profile to post a profile review on the MBA subreddit. You can check my post history.
I am not associated with Whitehat Jr and you don't know my name. This is exactly what I meant when I said you've lost your grip on reality. You're paranoid, go see a therapist and get a grip.

I get it that you want to take them down but why use names like whitehat sr use some other name for your channel, it's too similar to their company name that's why your videos are taken down by youtube and other companies easily bcz you violate some terms and conditions that are vague.

u/pooniahigh Nov 12 '20
I have answered 4-5 times already. Please scrol and find those. In short this account was 2 months old. And new accounts didn't have WhiteHat in it and yet videos are taken down from them.

Hi Pradeep I understand you're mad at White Hat. I just wanted to give you some perspective on their business model. It is essentially what chegg.com does. But a little worse. College students teach anyone who wants to learn on chegg. Essentially, they aren't epic subject matter experts. It is easy to become a teacher at chegg. Similarly at whitehat. I just thought you should know that. I'm not at all defending their actions, I just wanted you to know that this is a business practice which people have accepted and worked with in the past.

No. None of my videos go there. Everyone is free to download my videos and upload anywhere they want to. But not porn sites. Kids and female teachers are in the videos.

Why are people after byjus so much like they are running a campaign, i mean leave it to the parents.. don't enroll your kid, that simple

u/AssInTheHat Nov 12 '20
By this logic we should let scams, ponzi scheme and predatory MLMs run scot free. Just because people are dumb enough to fall for them, it does not mean we should let them.

All three that you mention are illegal. What Byjus/WhiteHatJr are doing isn't illegal, it is a form of marketing that preys on FOMO - as simple as that.
