They said, on youtube...
What did you mean by this in the image
That must be the "I'm trolling don't take me seriously" message
Should they send it to your home via pigeon?
They could at least provide a short summary of the video. From that title alone, I have no idea what to expect. This is some clickbait junk.
Thanks, you're right, I could have left a short summary. Here you go:
It's a TED talk from Carole Cadwalladr, a British Investigative Journalist, about the rise of technology, the downfall of democracy and the broad data/privacy problems that we all face.
Re: clickbait junk. Uh ok. If you say so 👍
You think the only options online are carrier pigeon or giant data gathering corporation? Seriously, maybe sit down and go through this community's posts for guidance on how to communicate without using data sponges.
Edit: literally less than a dozen posts earlier note, of all in that list peertube is probably the most relevant and that is simply video formats. You CAN communicate in forms other than video, like say in a substack blog.
The irony of your comment ending in a suckstack recommendation.
You're right. I don't use it and only suggested it because so many here do. So, the question is do you have a better suggestion or are you content to just bitch?
It's not communication unless someone hears it.
But you still saw it. That's the important part. Getting the message out. Use their own technology against them. You don't need an account to watch. Hell, you can use a private browser, vm or fresh install to watch it.
You also don't need youtube to publish it. I'm glad this entire conversation happened because it revealed just how ignorant and inconsiderate this community is regarding respecting other member's privacy.
The issue isn't the message. It is using a data gathering corporation to send it out and even using it here. It's hypocritical to what I thought this community was for. If OP had used an Invidious or Peertube link it wouldn't have been a problem. Do you not understand that by clicking on the link you could be flagged as 'worthy of stricter scrutiny', or a premium put on your specific data exactly because they now know you're trying to hide it?
I agree, somewhat. However, this message isn't meant for people already putting privacy first. This message is meant for people who should. They won't see the video if it's on peertube.
To me, privacy means not giving away that which I didn't intend to give away - not hide in a hole and never say a word in public.
The message in this video is clearly meant for public consumption.
TED also has their own video "platform" (website with a custom player) to host the talks. They know how many views they get there as opposed to YouTube.
