If they get this, I'm gonna make s fortune ripping the copyright protection off stuff so that I can sell products as my own.

I didn't know there was a name for it, I don't have anymore info on it, but I can show examples of it happening.

It definitely is in practice 100%

I don't have any more info on it, but I can prove it

They're also blocking posts by users who aren't banned or even got a warning. It appears to the user as though it's been posted, but it hasn't.

I'm surprised anyone uses Google services considering how they infiltrate your privacy.

A Google VPN is as private to me as giving a six year old a cardboard box and asking them but to look inside.

Definitely not blocking here.. but.. I have to ask. Which takes precedence, YouTube's T&C's or EU law?

Whatever happened to zeronet? Wasn't that supposed to do that with many services as well as the whole thing in general?

I'm guessing it just never got enough users.

What's realistically the closest to YouTube today? Like Lemmy, small acorns need bigger communities 😁 Slow, but it'll happen. It's also not a bad thing to have people used to switching platforms every x amount of years. That aside, does a VPN work, or Newpipe?

I'm in EU, not getting any ads yet on Firefox or Newpipe.

There is an English, Scottish and Welsh flag at the bottom IDK if there is one for The Isle of Man, Jersey islands etc..
