It would be good to stick these videos somewhere where they can't be taken down.

Suggestions? It seems like anyone that is able to provide a service to host video would be just as likely to remove them for the same pressure. P2P torrent with enough people seeding them to make it impossible to remove them is the only thing that comes to mind.

  Yeah I was thinking a torrent too - seems like the only way to guarantee it stays up.

    > Yeah I was thinking a torrent too - seems like the only way to guarantee it stays up. I'm up for helping, we did the same thing during HKs police brutality videos, please consider seeding this as well; let me know how I can help. https://torrentz2.eu/9b85dd223c8f92c923f516ed77bbdfcb770f4dd8 https://torrentz2.eu/9b85dd223c8f92c923f516ed77bbdfcb770f4dd... Oh, also worth noting the HKPF/PLA just used the same knee-to-neck choke hold on an unarmed female protestor during the 1 year Anniversary protests on June 12th [1]. 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxDKfxFrEuY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxDKfxFrEuY

  You could probably use an .onion site (or multiple of) as a backup or reference approach too, to retain anonymity.

This seems like the perfect place to use InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) (https://ipfs.io/ https://ipfs.io/). You can store and distribute files (including videos) using IPFS without worrying that someone could remove them. The only thing missing is a "UTube" front-end, and I'm not completely certain that there isn't already such a thing. Maybe this type of project would be the thing that gets IPFS off the ground and exposing it to a more mainstream audience.

  This repo has a tool that supports IPFS! https://github.com/2020PB/police-brutality/tree/master/tools/downloader https://github.com/2020PB/police-brutality/tree/master/tools...

This repo (linked in this spreadsheet) has both a similar listing + a downloader tool here: https://github.com/2020PB/police-brutality/tree/master/tools/downloader https://github.com/2020PB/police-brutality/tree/master/tools...
