Question 1

How does revenue recovery work on YouTube and Facebook?

Accepted Answer

Redflag AI is an Official YouTube Content Management System (CMS) Partner. We fingerprint your videos and automatically claim unauthorized re-uploads through Content ID — collecting the ad revenue those copies generate on YouTube. We also run Meta Rights Manager on Facebook, applying the same recovery model to stolen video there. Recovered revenue from both platforms is remitted to you monthly: you keep 75%, Redflag takes 25% only on claims we successfully find and resolve. There are no upfront fees. If we don't recover revenue within 30–60 days, we offboard your channel at no charge.

Question 2

What is YouTube Content ID and how is Redflag different from YouTube's built-in system?

Accepted Answer

YouTube Content ID is the official system for identifying and managing copyrighted content on YouTube. As an Official CMS Partner, Redflag operates Content ID on your behalf — but our proprietary Cyclops AI layer goes further, detecting re-uploads that YouTube's native system misses: clips as short as 6 seconds, modified or sped-up versions, and ghost channels that mirror your entire catalog under a new name.

Question 3

What is Meta Rights Manager and how does Facebook revenue recovery work?

Accepted Answer

Meta Rights Manager is Facebook's official system for identifying and managing copyrighted video on the platform — the Facebook equivalent of YouTube Content ID. Redflag runs Rights Manager on your behalf, fingerprinting your catalog and claiming revenue from unauthorized re-uploads on Facebook. The same 75/25 revenue split applies: you keep 75% of recovered Facebook ad revenue, Redflag takes 25% only on claims we find and resolve.

Question 4

Which platforms do you cover beyond YouTube and Facebook?

Accepted Answer

For revenue recovery (monetization), we cover YouTube Content ID and Meta Rights Manager on Facebook. For takedowns and removal, we cover TikTok, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and the open web including search engines. Multi-platform DMCA coverage is available as a $250/month add-on per channel. Our 95% takedown success rate is powered by Trusted Reporter status with these platforms.

Question 5

Can you remove AI-generated content that uses my likeness, voice, or brand?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cyclops AI detects non-consensual synthetic media — including deepfake videos, AI voice clones, and generated content using your face or likeness — across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit, and the open web. Where revenue sharing isn't available, we issue DMCA takedowns and use platform Trusted Reporter relationships to enforce removal. AI likeness violations are included in our multi-platform anti-piracy coverage.

Question 6

Do you need my YouTube login or password?

Accepted Answer

Never. Redflag AI operates entirely through YouTube's official CMS invite system. We send an invite to your Content Management System and you accept — no credentials, no OAuth token sharing, no channel access beyond what Content ID requires. Your channel remains 100% yours.

Question 7

How long does onboarding take and what do you need from me?

Accepted Answer

Onboarding takes about 10 minutes per channel. Once a contract is signed, setup is live within 48–72 hours. We need your official YouTube and Facebook page URLs, plus a list of any channels you want whitelisted (e.g. licensed partners, fan pages). As an official YouTube CMS partner, we pull your content directly from your channel — no separate video library upload is required. Facebook catalog is connected through Meta Rights Manager.

Question 8

Can you detect short clips, highlights, and edited re-uploads?

Accepted Answer

Yes. YouTube's native Content ID has a minimum detection threshold of roughly 20 seconds. Redflag's Cyclops AI detects clips as short as 6 seconds, including modified or sped-up re-uploads that standard fingerprinting misses. We can also run audio-only matching for content where visual similarity to source material raises fair-use concerns, and we handle compiled edits with added narration or branding.

Question 9

What happens to fan pages, reaction channels, and fair-use content?

Accepted Answer

Redflag only actions clear-cut infringing re-uploads. Channels where commentary, reaction, or transformative use could apply are surfaced for your review — never auto-claimed. You can also whitelist specific fan channels before launch so they never receive a claim or takedown notice regardless of what they upload. Straight re-uploads with no modification have no fair-use protection and are actioned automatically.

Question 10

Does this work for agencies managing multiple creators?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer a dedicated agency dashboard with aggregate views across your full roster and individual breakdowns by creator and channel. Revenue can flow to the agency account for distribution, or directly to each creator's AdSense account. Typical agency split is 75% creator / 5% agency / 20% Redflag. Setup fees are often waived for agencies, and each creator's content policies are managed independently. There is no minimum roster size.
