Well, when I use youtube I am giving Google permission to use my data in a way described in their TOS. If they break those terms, I have recourse (e.g. lawsuit, legislation, bad PR, etc.) > do something with it than my neighbor sniffing my IP address when I visit a singular Peertube Instance. You're minimizing the risk of Peertube from _anyone in the world_ seeing my IP address to "a neighbor" in order to make your argument. Anyway, using Peertube, there is no TOS, no recourse, no privacy.

> You're minimizing the risk of Peertube from _anyone in the world_ seeing my IP address to "a neighbor" in order to make your argument. Use a VPN with Peertube if that is your concern. Problem solved. > Anyway, using Peertube, there is no TOS, no recourse, no privacy. Just the mere fact that most of your traffic goes thru Google for search, videos, Google Analytics everywhere on 99% of websites out of the Google realm, makes my privacy a lot less meaningful when I know a single company has access to all of that info and that precise company can leak that data to every government out there asking for it without letting me know. By the way, has any individual sued Google for anything and won when it came to anything related to breach of privacy? Just the fact that it's extremely hard to prove that Google and nobody else leaked your information makes the possibility of legal action very remote to say the least.

  > Use a VPN with Peertube if that is your concern. Problem solved. No. Don't twist things. That's not my actual concern and doesn't solve the problem that: Peertube exposes your IP to anyone who wants it. Don't you think people should know that? You responded with "whataboutgoogle?" Sure, setting up/maintaining/buying a VPN may be a solution for some Peertube users, as has been said a million times in this thread.
