YouTube expresses that it has taken measures to prohibit uploads due to the 'first strike'. Due to the 3-strike system , your YouTube account will be completely frozen when two more strikes are counted.

In the case of Twitter, it was '12 hours account freeze' at first, but after unfreezing, there is a history that it became a permanent freeze because there is a risk of further violence.
