It's called flagging which youtube made it more prominent by "youtube heroes". https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/pavyp8/youtube-co...

However you can just go to any app in the playstore and flag it. If you have a "high trust" then google algorithm can take it down with just one flag.

I have high points on google maps and it's scary how my edits for even embassy and consulates are approved instantly: https://screenshots.firefox.com/314Jgow6iDMhflNF/www.google....

Scammers have been banning competitors, changing bank phone number on google maps (https://www.hackread.com/fraudsters-changing-contact-details...) and also taking down youtube videos.

Google gives zero shit



Thank you for this.
