If a company advertises that much I immediately put them on my sus list

Yep that's a big red flag, unfortunate it's so common.

To explain further, the problem is money as an end and the product the means. The best companies with the best products and services are ones that view their product/service as the end and money as the means. Such a company is satisfied when their product or service is the best it can be. A company viewing money as the end is never satisfied and the quality of the product/service is only relevant insofar as it's not a barrier to making more moolah.

Mullvad removed port forwarding though :/ which makes it less useful for anyone that wants to use it for anything peer-to-peer.

Wasn't there a privacy concern with, or that was their reasoning

I like to imagine the person at NBC who did this will be fired soon.

It's nice to imagine but it was probably a copyright bot that logs automated DCMA complaints. In fact I think this might be functionality YouTube provides to large content providers.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I suppose by comparison Bernie's channel would be a "Small Creator" so it would make sense if an Automated System didn't even check who it was fucking with first. Actually, I notice there are at least two Bernie Sanders channels with official Verified status on YT, I wonder what that means?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

None of this makes sense

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's region blocked EVERYWHERE near as I can tell. France, Egypt, Hong Kong, Ghana. I know youtube is just one video platform. But the power and reach that NBC universal has is goddamned disturbing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I mean, 'universal' is right there in the name.

It's probably unavailable anywhere, but it's a bit of an outrage that the fairest of fair uses gets takedowns.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fair use is a myth. I've only ever seen it punished on YT unless you're one of the Jimmys.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Fair use is not a myth, it's just that YouTube and Google don't give a fuck about the laws. Fair use is a USA Legal Policy, not a company policy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh, they care about the laws, but (say it with me now) just because you can express it legally doesn't mean a private corporation is required to host it for you.

Somehow a very lot of people only seem to remember that when it's views they find upsetting. Usually right wing ones.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Yes I understand right to free speech is not the right to a platform, but it's frustrating that they use Copyright Laws as an excuse in their explanations and statements despite the very clear exemptions.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Found the video, it looks like a clip from one of the late night shows, so Jimmy Fallon or Seth Meyers.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Guessing this video from Seth Meyers channel is the one that got blocked on Bernie's channel: https://youtube.com/watch?v=68ruWP-AM6Y

IDK who this Bernie Sander guy is, but he sounds like an antisemite /j

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

He's really Bernese Anders, a Swiss Nazi sleeper agent

Lol youtube shadowbanned me for a few days after I made some random comment about Israel under some news community post.

It was funny because I kept getting thread notifications from other stuff but all my comments I made were hidden, regardless of the content.
