Google is blocking Tor and most (if not all Invidious instances) from reaching Youtube - how should the fedi respond to this DoS? (www.ggtyler.dev)

When Google sabotages network neutrality by blocking Tor and Invidious instances, is it wise for the fedi to facilitate the sharing of #Youtube links?

Fedi instance operators would probably not tolerate links into Facebook’s walled-garden if people were to start polluting an otherwise open community with them. So Youtube links should probably be treated with contempt during periods where Google’s DoS attack is underway.

It's not. Net neutrality is about treating all network packets equally during transmission. Like mobile data operators giving free social media.

Server owners blocking traffic from certain IPs is not that at all.
