YouTube starts cancelling premium subscriptions purchased using VPN: Report

YouTube is cancelling premium subscription of those accounts where the country of signup does not match the users’ location. If the user has purchased a YouTube premium subscription using a virtual private network (VPN) to set the country where it is cheaper, then the user could possibly lose the subscription, reported The Verge.

According to the report, many users have reportedly found their subscription to be automatically cancelled. Reportedly, YouTube is also sending emails to users about the cancellation of YouTube Premium at dates specified by the company. When the user restarts the membership, YouTube asks for a card with the address of the current residence of the user.
