Tick Tock: Germans form Y-tubers' union, partnered with Europe's largest trade union to sue YouTube. Gives YT 4 weeks to meet demands or will sue. Video below. Demands regarding unfair practices, non-transparency, censorship and "false self-employment" among other things. Apparently, if YouTube can control what content creators (Ytubers) are allowed to post, manages advertisers and controls monetization, then they (Ytubers) are not self-employed as YT claims....but are "employed by" and under the "authorization of" YouTube.  And by German law, that means YT is on the hook for employee/social benefits.  (HA!)  They are asking for content creators to join their union.  And have given YT four weeks to meet demands or will sue.  German youtubers' union site is "FairTube (dot) info"   Also video is copyright protected and they encourage it to be freely shared.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1163&v=DA9BcqwWsIg Hat tip:  SGTReport (dot) com.
