#Youtube is deleting Cyber #security videos because they changed TOS, and now everything about how to perform #pentest break TOS.
People at r/datahoarders are backuping ALL #security videos including #lockpicking and are sharing it through #bittorrent
Please, if you can afford it (size wise), share. #fuckYouTube and fuck #censorship

I respect your POV, but deeply disagree.
He owes us everything. We are customers. We are not paying with money, but with our data and receiving ads, and that allowed then to earn a fucking TON of money. Even more, they decided unilaterally change TOS. I could understand if they forbid new videos, but they should respect those uploaded under previous TOS.
What's more, I agree that they legally can do it.
If something can be done does not mean that it's morally right.
My two cents.
@Vortax Google will be forbidden from doing this under Article 17 of the new EU Copyright Directive but it's not live yet. I'm not defending Google, I'm just encouraging everyone to stop depending on them.
@kravietz
Totally true. Unfortunately, till today, there is simply no alternative to YouTube. Not Vimeo, not peertube, nothing. So, having content banned from YouTube is a great loss, and we should make them know when they do something we don't like.
Datahoarders made a fucking great move backuping all this content. We need alternatives to YouTube, but until then, I think we should have right to protest when YouTube makes a dick move like this.
@Vortax Why "no alternative"? Peertube works like a charm. If you're a popular tutorial autor on YT, people will follow your content wherever you post it
@kravietz
Because there is no quality content on peertube (or content at all). It's the classic snowball case. People start uploading content, your popularity rises, more people upload, and you become a reference platform. Since you are reference, everyone uploads to you, other sites get no content, and to be heard, all people must come to you, or no one notices.
Peertube has no content. It is no alternative right now. Maybe in 5 years, but not now.
@Vortax this IMHO depends only on your objectives; if you publish to monetize - well, YT is your partner (although greedy and unpredictable); if you publish to teach or for fame - you can refer people to your Peertube videos from any channel of your choice: Mastodon, Twitter, SSB, Facebook, LinkedIn or evern YouTube itself - the latter would probably work quite well with the current security videos witch hunt there...
