Uziel is a vocal proponent against the censorship of YouTube and gave numerous interviews about YouTube's removal of content that "might be sensitive, but serves a public good."
While Polanski gave various reasons for his inability to appear, the presiding judge, Gilad Hess, dismissed these one by one and ordered Polanski to pay Uziel ₪10,000 in costs. In November 2018, it was published that Polanski decided to drop the lawsuit, and was ordered by the court to pay Uziel ₪30,000 (US$8,000) for court costs. The court accepted Uziel's request that the suit not be dropped, but rather that it be rejected, making Polanski unable to sue Uziel again over the same issue in the future.
In late December 2019, in Polanski's interviews with Paris Match and Gazeta Wyborcza, Polanski accused Uziel of carefully orchestrating the attacks on his character and for playing a major role in designing an international campaign to besmirch his name and reputation in order to make his career fall from grace.

In February 2023, the three-person panel ruled that Polanski didn’t show the domain was registered and used in bad faith, nor did he show that the registrant, Uziel, lacked rights or legitimate interests in the domain name.
