This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed
We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.
Anthropic Claude — first-party
googleapis.com is Google's own API domain, and YouTube is a Google app, so this is a first-party endpoint; the '-pa' hostname and 'antiabuse' label suggest an abuse/integrity-check service rather than an ad or third-party analytics network, though I cannot confirm its exact function. The app already declares collecting device identifiers and diagnostics, so this contact appears covered by its label.
OpenAI — first-party
The domain is under googleapis.com and appears consistent with a Google-operated anti-abuse service used by YouTube. The app's label declares broad collection categories including device identifiers, app interactions, diagnostics, and other actions, so this contact is not clearly outside the disclosed flows.
Google Gemini — first-party
The domain iosantiabuse-pa.googleapis.com is an internal Google API endpoint used for iOS anti-abuse and security checks, making it first-party to the YouTube app. This functionality aligns with the app's broad set of declared data collections, such as device identifiers and diagnostic data.
