Google has removed the original video from youtube over a "privacy claim" and have disabled responses on this medium post.
It makes it hard to give Google the benefit of the doubt when their stance seems to be "stop talking about it", instead of addressing the content of the video.

People with tech connections can take down videos that name them, even if the videos are legitimately news worthy. Meanwhile CNN hunts down and doxes people who post memes without tech companies doing anything.
