Why didn't they remove Navalny's videos from YouTube then?
- vbezhenar 5y agoI guess because Russian authorities did not make a proper requests for doing so.
- nicce 5y agoIt is a totally different thing. App store apps are localized, Youtube is currently global.
- aembleton 5y agoNot all videos are available everywhere, probably for copyright reasons. It does mean that their system is capable of region blocking though.
- nicce 5y agoThere is a difference on availability and removal.
- realusername 5y agoEverything is global, I hate that modern tech tries to bring back some kind of "illusion" of borders.
- vetinari 5y agoNot really; Youtube has a mechanism for geographically restricting videos. Germans could talk for hours about it ;)
- nicce 5y agoTwo different things; removing something from everyone versus blocking something from specific userbase.
- vetinari 5y agoIf you read it again, you will find it is the same thing.
- nicce 5y agoNot really. It is totally different policy. Somebody asking removing content from the whole world, because of their limited local legalization versus just not showing it for this limited area. From the perspective of some users, it might be the same result. However, the content is still there and can be accessed from the different route.
- vetinari 5y agoBoth youtube and app store are local and remove/block by regions; so if something is removed from multiple regions, it is because it infringes some law in all regions.
- chupasaurus 5y agoNavalny's organization FBK has an extremist status given by a Russian court, so legally speaking all their YT channels could be wiped in a split second.
- machomaster 5y agoThey have though. Kremlin has made plenty of effort in trying to delete individual videos and the whole channels. So far Google/Youtube have not complied. Let's see what happens after today's developments...
