YouTube Temporarily Suspends Monetization of SSSniperwolf Over Doxxing Allegations Amid Feud With Jacksfilms

SSSniperwolf apologizes for "inexcusable" actions, promising to communicate with Jackfilms directly and respectfully, following YouTube's decision to temporarily demonetize her channel due to claims she shared Douglass's personal information and home address.

YouTube has temporarily suspended the monetization of popular content creator SSSniperwolf, real name Alia Shelesh, amid allegations that she doxxed fellow YouTuber Jack Douglass, also known as Jacksfilms. This comes after an ongoing feud between the creators escalated, culminating in Shelesh showing up at Douglass's home and posting it on Instagram.
Douglass, who criticized Shelesh for allegedly using content from TikTok without permission, described the incident as causing fear for his safety and called for YouTube to demonetize Shelesh or remove her from the platform.
The incident generated discussion among online creators about how platforms should respond to digital disputes that escalate into real-life danger—doxxing can lead to more serious acts like swatting, which is when someone falsifies a police report to have authorities show up at someone’s home.
In response to the backlash, Shelesh issued an apology directly to Douglass, acknowledging her actions as 'inexcusable' and expressed appreciation to YouTube for holding her accountable by temporarily demonetizing her platform.
Though many criticized YouTube for not acting sooner and some argued that the temporary demonetization of Shelesh's channel was not enough, YouTube defended its decision, citing its Creator Responsibility policies which state creators should remain responsible both on and off the platform.
