The Telepathy Tapes (hosted by Ky Dickens) makes the false claim that, among others claims, nonverbal autistic children have telepathic abilities and that is revealed through a method called "spelling to communicate." "Spelling to communicate" is a rebrand of the now discredited therapy method known as Facilitated Communication.
Ok. "Professor Dave" debunked "The Telepathy Tapes" claim that non verbal autistic children are telepathic. So The Telepathy Tapes issued a copyright strike against Professor Dave.
Is that correct?
As an autistic person I already knew this with my telepathy /s
Ky Dickens is a lying exploiter of vulnerable people.
Eh? This doesn't make any sense. Copyright is nothing to do with correctness.
Knowing nothing about any of this, my assumption would be that clips from the podcast were played and then responded to in the debunking. Should be considered fair use, but webhosts tend to be very aggressive with regard to copyright claims.
There doesn't need to be a copyright violation for a takedown to be issued, especially on Youtube. It's an automated process with minimal to no consequences for abusing it, and it's shockingly frequent that it is abused to takedown videos critical of the abuser.
It is a tool for censorship
