It's no secret that Google has faced years of criticism for how it handles copyright claims on YouTube, which grew into a cottage industry of unscrupulous entities striking anything they can to earn a cut of a video's earnings. This is all to say Google knows full well its copyright system is abysmal and has done little to address the situation, which is how you get corporations abusing copyright to take down videos that reveal inconveniences.
One such example is happening right now, with Adobe having demanded a whistleblower's video footage of Adobe's CEO be removed from YouTube for "copyright" violations, and, of course, Google has removed the video through an automated process without talking to the owner of the channel or verifying who owns the video in the first place.
As far as copyright is concerned, it's hard to see where Adobe has any legal claim to this video, as it didn't record it and doesn't own it, so it appears Google is helping Adobe abuse copyright law to silence a critic and whistleblower. Fun stuff.
