Hey USA.

What the fuck.

Sincerely,

Rest of the fucking world

It seems that protecting the children only works to weaken privacy and individual rights, not to actually protect children.

Backward compatibility and not seeing the future. Some decisions are taken at one point in time, then a new use case show up, then a new paradigm evolve, then… etc etc.

It's really the same thing that holds back a lot of languages and libraries. And even when replacement shows up, old habits from devs and old projects maintenance keep all these things well alive too.

Yeah, this is showing up at roughly the same time we can get (almost) free 5 second video generation from some services, and fast still picture generation on consumer grade hardware. It's the perfect combination of useless, stupid, and obsolete, all in one very pricey and very dangerous precedent-filled package.

A VPN future? Haha. Not if they don't want to. There are many ways to prevent VPN from operating when you're a government.

You can just plain ban encryption, which sounds really crazy, but yeah, they're trying to.

You can just say "it's illegal to use a VPN". It'll technically still work, but if there's a trace of trafic from your house to a known VPN endpoint, you're it! Great!

They can force custom proprietary spying software on your devices. Sounds equally crazy as the thing above, right? But rest assured they're ALSO trying to do that. Multiple times, even. And in some places… they did. Of course, nothing forces you to have such software on your device. Especially if your devices are not supported; it also turns into a "you have to buy this or that big name device, everything else's de-facto illegal! Fuck you, we're the government!". And if you get caught for whatever, and your phone, PC, or anything isn't "compliant"? Bam. Guilty.

Plenty of option. All of them completely stupid and would weaken both privacy, individuals, and governments at large. It never stopped legislation from being pushed forward.

Sending a dick pick. Now it's whatever is in front of these to make a though decision.

I hope people will understand that two dude breaking chairs on each other's back while doing ballet is slightly different than senile clowns pushing half the population of a country into a grinder.

He skipped his classes, and I'm not sure he's dextrous enough to pull a pin out of anything.

A very lucrative cult, he would know all about it.

Peer to peer viewing can only go so far. Some people, when they put a video out, get hundred of thousands of view in the span of a few minutes. This works relatively well on youtube, with a very large CDN (and probably some heuristics for big accounts). It is enough to hinder "smaller" platforms like dailymotion. It would just be a terrible experience on peertube as it is now, unless the creator preemptively mirrored it in many, many places beforehand.

Accessibility, usability, scalability at very, very large scale, actual searchability, and actual return on investment, because some people actually get money from youtube?

Actually, peertube, depending on the instance and the popularity of the content, can be incredibly frustrating for a viewer. And it can be frustrating to the content creator. Some people are quick to dismiss minor (and less minor) annoyances, are able to look for fixes, and so on, but for almost everyone? The experience is nightmareish, with incertain returns (or no returns at all, as it stands).

Once you fix all that, you might have a chance to convince larger entities to move to peertube. Well, more realistically, to host their own instance. Well, more realistically, to host multiple instances, because really some people would hammer the platform down with each video. See the issue yet?

Lives gets destroyed, everyone pay for it, money is diverted from actually useful stuff, but all this is a low price to pay for a handful of mafia bosses to get even richer.
