Board 8 > Anybody know anything about reporting a Youtube video?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've never done this before and it seemed a heck of a lot more complicated than it should be given the circumstances because this is something that REALLY shouldn't be on the internet. In the video, a person's full name, full address, and even most of their frigging SSN is said out loud. Given the nature of the video it's pretty clear that the person has absolutely no idea that it was ever made/uploaded, and even if they did that shouldn't be up there. But when I went to go report it as a privacy issue, I was referred to some FAQ-type page stating that in order to report a video for a privacy issue, it needs to be me that is identified and I need to prove that it's me and that the video identifies me specifically beyond a shadow of a doubt, which is absolutely dumb because the person in question is almost certainly completely ignorant to the video's existence and now all their info is completely public within guessing distance of identity theft.

I wouldn't be going through this much effort to try and get it taken down if it were anything less than something that could legitimately ruin an innocent person's life, which this is. Any tips on how I should report this to ensure that it gets taken down?
