YouTube removed a Cybersecurity channel without much reason

Could be a mistake but it could also be in line with their already stated policy of removing hacking information. I don't care about the distinction you are about to make nor do I care to post an opinion on the matter. Just information for anyone passing by.
- viseztrance 6y ago
  Where will they draw the line? What about channels focused on the physical security like Lock Picking Lawyer?
  - vmception 6y ago
    They won't draw a line. They will just react arbitrarily and rely on the clout of the person they messed with to be the appeals process.

  They should be required by law to allow him to download a full archive of all the videos he posted if he doesn't have a local backup, so long as they're not clearly illegal (e.g. child abuse).
  - root_axis 6y ago
    Why should that be required by law?
    - sterlind 6y ago
      For the same reason a storage company shouldn't be able to burn all the stuff in your unit if they evict you.
      - tshaddox 6y ago
        But aren’t they? Maybe not literally burn, but aren’t there multiple reality TV shows about repossessed storage units?
        wccrawford 6y ago
        That's for the money that's owed them from not paying the rent. YouTube doesn't charge rent or other fees, and I'm not sure how they'd auction your digital copyrighted IP anyhow.
        hundchenkatze 6y ago
        Yeah, but most places will put your storage unit into "default" for some time, usually 30 days, and make multiple attempts to contact you before auctioning your stuff. Generally speaking, in the U.S. most states have lien laws that dictate how and for how long a company must attempt to contact you before they can auction. Youtube could do something similar, by providing you 30 days to download your content.
        sterlind 6y ago
        exactly! I see no excuse for YouTube not to allow this, as long as videos haven't been flagged for e.g. sexual abuse (where YouTube itself would be liable for continuing to store it.) I think the only reason they don't do it is because they don't have to and they don't care. instituting a 30-day retention period to exporting content would be really good for users. shame we can't pass tech laws in the US.

        A storage company can't burn my stuff because: 1. That's arson, a crime. 2. I have a contract with them (including consideration) to store my stuff.
  - dspillett 6y ago
    They are required, depending on jurisdiction, to provide the information that they have about you that they have derived from other sources, and if the data you have provided is small enough it makes sense to give a download if everything rather than making an effort to separate it out. But for a video site the provided content is going to dwarf the other data/metadata stored about a person/account/channel so it does make sense to separate them, and I don't see why they should be required to give over resources so you can download data that in theory you should already have. They are a content hosting service, not a content backup service. > so long as they're not clearly illegal That makes things even more complicated. How do they decide, given some things are grey areas almost everywhere and some things are very much illegal in some places but not others?

No need to immediately take the crime up to 11, using the youtube platform to help people commit software piracy will do.

It's a mistaken position to believe sharing "how to" information somehow mints cybercriminals; however, this is the position YouTube has repeatedly and is increasingly taking with striking innocent content creators sharing information about how security vulnerabilities work and how to test for them. This type of content is widely available on mainstream online blog sites, in published books, and through established, expensive training outfits like the SANS Institute. YouTube has really missed the mark thinking there are real risks they are mitigating by culling it out from their platform. This is an editorial decision by YouTube on what they want to groom YouTube's community to be, not a content decision based on sound public policy or realistic threat models.
- jjbinx007 6y ago
  It would be nice if Youtube had a clear policy written in clear English (or indeed made a series of videos on the subject) explaining what's not allowed on the platform. Some channels post videos which stay up for years without any strikes or problems and then out of the blue the whole channel gets taken down under a vague "you violated our T&Cs" notice without Youtube bothering to highlight which of the T&Cs. They sometimes take down huge channels without first contacting the channel owners to warn them in advance and give them the opportunity to do something about it. Rather than take down the channel why can't Youtube just remove the videos? It's not a civilised way to conduct business.
  - AndrewUnmuted 6y ago
    > It's not a civilised way to conduct business. It's true, and the way they try to hide this fact is by pretending that the censorship and policy switch-up is done in the name of "anti-racism." YouTube & co could not have been more lucky that an entire segment of the culture came up with the perfect catch-all term to enable them to walk back their horrible business blunders.
    - hmry 6y ago
      They're taking down hacking videos in the name of anti-racism? I don't know about that...
djsumdog 6y ago
Looks like he started a channel on a Peertube server, but it has nothing on it yet. I hope he has a backup of all his videos. ALWAYS HAVE A LOCAL BACKUP of all the content you upload to other services. Facebook is not your photo backup. All your stuff could disappear off Google tomorrow. The cloud is literally someone else's computer. The biggest takeaway for all YouToobers is to organize all their videos in a manor that they can upload them to a new place when (not if) the time comes. YouTube is going to become a dinosaur in a few years. I don't see people finding meaningful content on it with the shit they keep pulling.
- ve55 6y ago
  I would go even further: Always have a local backup of anything on the Internet that is important to you, whether you made it or not, unless you know there are many other accessible versions of it for redundancy. You never know when a large company will delete it without notice. (Is this feasible? Perhaps not, but given how cheap storage is, if this could be even semi-automated, it would easily save a lot of heartache for some at many points in their life, especially in the worst cases of things like their Google accounts being banned)
  - phendrenad2 6y ago
    This 1000%. I can't tell you how many times I click a link, find it's broken, plug it into Wayback Machine, only to find it was never indexed, or the images weren't archived, or only the homepage was indexed, etc.
  - Ruthalas 6y ago
    If you archive youtube content, consider stopping by my discord server. https://discord.gg/EJvS4kf https://discord.gg/EJvS4kf I maintain a list of content that various members have archived, such that if anything is removed, people can direct inquiries to people who have archived that content. It's a small way to keep track of what things have been successfully archived, and direct efforts toward at-risk channels.

      Yes uncensored sites will have distasteful, terrible, and repugnant content. That is a GOOD thing, and a FEATURE not a deterrent. You do not defeat bad ideas, and repugnant ideologies with suppression of speech. Sorry it does not work that way no matter how much the Authoritarian Left and the Authoritarian Right would love it to
      - gamacodre 6y ago
        You don't defeat bad ideas by promoting them either; you defeat them with shame, i.e. consequences for being willfully ignorant or acting like a jackass. But the internet rarely delivers meaningful feedback to the folks that craft this type of "distasteful, terrible, and repugnant content." Now, you might be the sort of person that would choose to live with a group of sadistic trolls for the edification that might result. I suspect most humans would react badly to that type of environment; our psychology is not well adapted to a constant barrage of persuasive deception and emotional manipulation. Personally, I hope this latest crop of trashtube sites is driven offline and into bankruptcy; the sooner, the better.
d33lio 6y ago
YouTube is now a hostile space for creators of any political or social creed that create "edge" worthy content. Plain and simple. If you're a trans or LGBTQ creator your content is not safe. If you produce "hacking" or firearms videos your content is not safe. Maybe some day the millennial generation will end the boomer era mantra of passing legislation federally or adopting policies that censoring content for the children TM.
- thatguy0900 6y ago
  The millennials will certainly not be the generation to end emotional censorship
  - d33lio 6y ago
    I agree, it's curious how in recent times a foundational aspect of modern democrats is a belief that not being aware or able to see something really solves an issue or corrects a perceived ethical wrong. For instance, don't like what your opponents have to say? Just make it so their supporters have to go to their own platform. The insidious angle of this is how this kind of thinking starts to bleed into payments processing / CC companies.

    Yeah, you can achieve the same educational aims with one of the thousands of crackmes out there. It’s pretty sketchy to demo cracking for pay software in a public place like this. Maybe that was old content and they forgot about it, but still, it does shed some light on it. Cybersecurity content in general, and especially that focused on tools and techniques, should be presented with at least some moral and ethical concern.
