LTT video on de-Googling removed for "violating community guidelines" (linustechtips.com)

It's apparently the first video taken down from LTT.

> I'm sure that it's a "coincidence" that after 10 years of creating videos, that the first video Linus has removed for a community guideline strike is a video discussing how to utilize software that gets you out of the Google ecosystem.

He forgot the moment when his channel turned into cryptoscam arena - https://www.netcraft.com/blog/linustechtips-youtube-channels...

And all moments when they removed their own videos, then legally pursued those who reuploaded deleted videos.


Irrelevant, misleading, and inflammatory. To reiterate, this is about videos getting removed for a community guideline strike. Accounts getting hacked by scammers or deleting your own video has nothing to do with the topic, which is Monopolist censorship for bogus reasons.


In your comment you said "the first video taken down from LTT", which is not true.

Yes, this might be the first video removed for one specific reason. This also might be the first video where he broke external links policy[1]

> Links to websites, apps, or other sources that give unauthorized access to audio content, audiovisual content, video games, software, or streaming services that normally require payment

as he left a sequence of links to "alternative YouTube UI"[2]

Fixes for my comment:

1) Link [2] is not correct (I copy-pasted wrong link); I planned to give a link to reuploaded video.

2) Reuploaded video was removed with a whole channel, see https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1fbowrb/yout... ; see reuploaded original video with original description at https://odysee.com/@LTTArchive:9/degooglept2:d?r=7YRaMTbhDht...


It's a Badge of Honor in this case.
