These are pictures from today of an email that I sent to YouTube yesterday and YouTube's response, about the video "STOP STALKING ME: THE BEST OF LENA KOCHMAN":
Whoever published the video quite obviously impersonated me, with a picture of me that the person got from the Internet as the profile picture and a fake copyright notice that the person wrote, pretending to be me.
Every video in the montage is taken from videos that I published at my real blogs. I have published thousands of videos; how many will I have to go through to find all the videos that were republished by the impersonator? What does an impersonator have to do to meet YouTube's guidelines for impersonation, write "I am trying to impersonate someone and republish her videos out of context to make the world think that she is an evil, crazy person"?
It's also not as if YouTube doesn't know who I am and isn't enjoying making this as difficult as possible for me. It took a long time for me to get Twitter to erase a Twitter page that someone had created, pretending to be me, that had racist Tweets and pictures of pornography, such as naked men holding their penises. Twitter's first responses to my requests that the page be erased were also that the page didn't meet its guidelines for impersonation. The page was on the first page of Internet search results for my name for months.
