I came across a YouTube short of a monkey being “saved” and opened the account. There are many more videos like it, and it looks like one of those fake rescue channels where the animal is harmed before the video starts

If you go into the comments on the recent shorts you can see people talking about the problem.

The only reporting options I had were harassment and bullying, privacy, impersonation, violent threat, child endangerment, hate speech against protected group, spam and scams.

This channel should be shut down. Given that these channels are an ongoing problem, shouldn’t it be easier to report them? Is there a different place I should be looking?

    Our equivalent is DSI, the special intervention service. We don’t dispatch DSI based on anonymous calls. “DSI’ing someone“ is therefore not a thing. But “SWATting” is. There’s a Dutch equivalent of SWAT but not of SWATting because in our society you don’t send out a heavily armed team of professional killers to prank calls.

    This is not a “SWAT is an American special police force, so the discussion would naturally involve America” kind of discussion.

    It’s a “only in the US the state tries to kill everyone in your house because of anonymous fake telephone calls” kind of conversation.
