You can't even access youtube.

You can't even access the website of the biggest spying complex in history, that works for your biggest enemy, the one that wanted to genocide you for decades.

I wonder why.

I don't think they're doing this because they are concerned about citizens' safety or privacy. I think the main goal is to replace these platforms with their own proprietary alternatives. This way, the ruling class can earn more money and gain full control over the content people consume. If safety were truly a concern, why not fund PeerTube development? Or open-source what they've developed?

Anyway, I prefer to decide which websites to access on my own. I think allowing an oligarchy to make that decision for us can't be a good thing.
