      And how well did that work out? I personally haven’t gotten any strike on youtube, using uBlock/mpv on PC, Youtube Revanced on mobile and SmartTube for TV since forever

      Also there’s this https://invidious.io/. So yeah, it’s just the classic cat & mouse game that has been going on for ever since software added drm

        Google has already lashed out at Invidious though, and they’ll keep trying

        I agree that in most cases people can find workarounds, but I don’t think we should take these things for granted

          Google has no ground to stand on against Invidious

          They may harass them but it’ll be veeery difficult to chase down all instances

            Oh, I’m well aware of that, but I also have little faith in the justice system to recognize this

            In any case, it seems like a warning shot from Google and an interest in taking down sites like Invidious

            I’m not trying to spread doubt, but I also think complacency is dangerous, especially given the history of corporate giants like Google

              Steamrolling this change Forcing people to have an incredably invasive change to force you to use chrome or use googled android, or use googled chromebooks.

              its incredably bright lines it would destablize trust in anything that agrees with it. If the amrican court doesnt prosecute. It will eather show the ignorance/lies in others or destablize amarican trust in the law.

                We’re talking about a public and justice system that mostly agreed the Patriot Act was a good idea and that ICE protects us from terrorism

                Anyone who hasn’t already lost trust America and our law has been sleeping for decades

        It’s probably a slow roll out for exact cases like this one to ease the backlash. I havent gotten any notice like such either but Im on Firefox. I do fully support invidious though
