Someone complaining about local governments having data while directing them to YouTube, whose owner does surveillance at a scale far exceeding all local governments of all countries combined, is ironic.

Why don’t these people use Peertube at least. Fact of the matter is they’d like to personally profit off the same nonsense they complain about. This person has a million subscribers, they aren’t some random whistleblower. It’s a job, like all media, generating outrage.

If all of them used peertube maybe we’d have a solid competitor.

It is very clearly because YouTube has a higher reach than any other platform in that space.

During the KMT military dictatorship in Taiwan, the KMT used the radio to spread its anti-democratic propaganda and disparage pro-democracy activists. Activists meanwhile spread their messages via pirate radio.

Cool, what does that have to do with anything?

Oppressor and activist may sometimes use the same tools.

The activist needs to first go to where the people are.
