Also, their algorithms mistook live streaming of Notre Dame fires as 9/11 incident. How can live stream be a past incident?
You are confusing the term “live stream” to mean something actually happening at that moment in the real world. All a “live” stream actually is to Youtube or FB or any other streaming service is just incoming RTMP packets. Youtube matches incoming streams against their ContentID database just as they do for normal uploads. I would bet that the same thing would have happened if the same footage were uploaded normally after the fact. People will use unlisted streams to broadcast pirated content otherwise. I faced a similarly false claim once where me playing Super Mario World on a real life SNES was falsely matched to some major label song, and since it was my third strike (all false) my account got banned from being able to use Youtube Live entirely. In the end I’m kind of glad that happened because it led to me developing my own minimal self-hosted stream site for small friends-only streams, including things Youtube would give legit claims for. My tiny VPS wouldn’t stand up to thousands or probably even dozens of simultaneous viewers like Youtube or the other big names can, but that doesn’t matter at all for me.

Youtube live is supposed to be streaming of live events. My point is that their algorithms incorrectly decided a live stream was a past event. Even google/youtube acknowledged it was incorrect to tag a live event.
