A DOCUMENTARY FEATURING mothers surviving Israel’s genocide in Gaza. A video investigation uncovering Israel’s role in the killing of a Palestinian American journalist. Another video revealing Israel’s destruction of Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank.
YouTube surreptitiously deleted all these videos in early October by wiping the accounts that posted them from its website, along with their channels’ archives. The accounts belonged to three prominent Palestinian human rights groups: Al-Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights.
The move came in response to a U.S. government campaign to stifle accountability for alleged Israeli war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Not really. More like pirating a movie in 2012. These days, there are excellent-quality pirate streaming services, there’s the ability to stream videos over bittorrent (if there are enough seeds), and probably other options I’m not thinking of that make pirated video more accessible than ever.
Do they prioritize the data at the beginning now? I haven’t done it in years but last time I did it just downloaded little pieces of the files until it has them all assembled, meaning that playback would be impossible if you try until it’s finished.
I remember my bittorrent client having an option to do that even back in like 2010, though I never used it to actually stream, because my Internet wasn’t good enough.
I remember the buttons existing for it, but maybe it was just super and acceptable seeds.
Most stuff has so few seeds that I got anyway I was lucky to get the whole file anyway. Plus I was trying to get a collection of movies to keep, not just watch on demand.
So maybe I want the target audience for the feature. Plus if it had a lot of secrets it just made me more paranoid that there were undercover ones looking at it.
Which isn’t really bring the pale, especially since back then I didn’t even hardly know what encryption was, much less anything like Tor or VPNs.
I actually got a letter from the ISP one time, and it wasn’t even for a good movie.
