For those interested, VICE recently did a fantastic report about the street violence that's consuming parts of Port-au-Prince, and how it's connected to Haiti's current political climate.

- dmos62 5y agoUnavailable in Europe. What kind of news outlet censors reports based on reader's location?
- bargle0 5y agoThe kind that doesn’t want to deal with Europe’s laws, for better or worse.
- dmos62 5y agoWhat laws are those? This is surely not GDPR, if that's what you mean.
- xeromal 5y agoI'm not seeing a problem?
- dmos62 5y agoBecause Youtube doesn't have problems complying with GDPR, as far as I know. Also, other videos would be unavailable as well. Edit: you've completely changed your comment.
- bombcar 5y agoJust because the largest video sharing platform ever know is willing to comply with GDPR doesn't mean there isn't a cost associated, or that everyone is willing to pay that cost. Regulatory moats are a thing.
- dmos62 5y agoIsn't privacy protection worth that cost? I value my right to privacy, and I'm happy that GDPR protects it to an extent. Not that this has anything to do with the news report being unavailable.
- wyager 5y agoOh, one of the world’s richest companies can afford to comply with EU law or eat the fines? Well I guess it’s no problem then
- sudosysgen 5y agoIt's not that, it's generally that the license is sold and they don't have copyright for it in Europe anymore, at least as far as VICE is concerned.
- helloworld11 5y agoAlso unavailable in Mexico, so, not just a GDPR thing. Absurd nonsense all around for a Youtube news piece on the internet.
- sudosysgen 5y agoIt's also the case in Canada, here the rights are sold to Bell. It's probably sold to some Mexican telecom too.
- rnhmjoj 5y agoyoutube-dl report it's only available in the USA.
- shp0ngle 5y agoIt’s not available in Asia either. (And, I would guess, in Haiti itself.)
- mdaniel 5y agoI unfortunately can't really test it because the original video loads for me, but there are several snapshots in the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20210610164053if_/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvp1WVl6nrY https://web.archive.org/web/20210610164053if_/https://www.yo...
- DrammBA 5y agoThe video is not available in my country. I'm in America, but not the correct part of America it seems.
- kingofpandora 5y ago> The video is not available in my country. I'm in America, but not the correct part of America it seems. In English, "America" unambiguously refers to the United States. I say that as a non-American.
- DrammBA 5y agoNot sure what you mean by "unambiguously" when Merriam Webster[0], Cambridge[1], and Oxford[2] dictionaries have several definitions.

- jonny_eh 5y agoAs an English speaking Canadian, now living in the USA, I concur. "The Americas" refers to the whole super continent.
