New Delhi : Delhi-based legal not-for-profit organisation SFLC.in (Software Freedom Law Center, India) today announced a significant win for RightsLine, its free nationwide digital rights helpline, with the full restoration of a content creator’s terminated YouTube channel within four days of an appeal filed by SFLC.in before India’s Grievance Appellate Committee (GAC).
Before this appeal was filed, the platform had failed to disclose allegedly infringing content, rejected a valid DMCA counter-notification over a minor technical error, and blocked any resubmission, effectively denying the creator due process and any remedy to restore their channel. The GAC’s intervention within four days of appeal filing led to the full restoration of the channel, removal of all strikes, and reinstatement of ad revenue.
