Google is untouchable because Youtube is just the platform, and platforms are not held liable for the actions of content creators on their platform, per Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. As an example, they are SO untouchable that in Bungie v. Nicholas Minor, Bungie's request for exploration (Minor filed a bunch of fake DMCA claims, claiming to be Bungie) included documentation that Bungie would very much like to also sue Youtube (for allowing such a low-security process that some dickbag could pretend to be Bungie with nothing but a fake gmail account and copystrike dozens of people), they could not because of Section 230 and the DMCA giving Youtube absolute protection.
To clarify that: Youtube's process in accepting a DMCA claim from ANYBODY that even vaguely appeared to be the Copyright Holder directly and tangibly caused Bungie damage, but because they were just following orders, Section 230 protects them from liability. Youtube could not even be attacked when they were the ones actually causing the problem in the first place.
At best, Google is the go-between, and only if a court tells them they have to play that role. AnyColor would be suing the dramafag directly, and vice-versa. And he's probably a SEAnig anyway so this is all out the window the second that comes to light, because laws do not exist in SEAland. Or at least, that's what I assume based on how they act.
Anyway, legal nonsense aside, AnyColor is based for trying to kill a dramafag, but copystrike spamming them is asking for bad press, because it means "any Niji content they don't like will get torn down and get me banned", which means you scare off the dramafags, the news channels, the fan projects, and most importantly: the clippers. Niji already suffers from poor clipping compared to Hololive. As much as clipfags are insufferable, they are part of the "ecosystem" of corporate vtubing, and an important part of it. Niji's already fighting for relevance in the West, and it's largely fighting a losing battle if the numbers are telling the truth.
Even if AnyColor were to win in the court of law, it might not be worth losing the court of public opinion for one dumb dramafag that isn't even that big. I never heard of this faggot before 2 days ago. Why does /vt/ care about him now?
