yeah…ok…but no thanks…the idea is to use youtube less, not youtube++ more…but I guess a hosting alternative is good. Just not for anything even remotely critical of China.

It’s gotta follow the local laws of where it’s hosted, so I doubt they’ll be allowed to have as strong censorship laws when they make a USA and EU version tbh
Well, they’ll be just as strong in the USA, but focuses on different topics
is it illegal to not host content critical of China in EU? otherwise local laws are irrelevant.
Corporate Censorship is generally illegal here, there’s still Censorship, but only via the gov
