A much younger Aral delivers a warning about where surveillance tech is headed over twelve years ago.

The terms I use might have evolved as I did since then (“free” as in freedom instead of “open” as in open for business, “design” instead of “user experience”, “people” instead of “consumers”) but I’m still working on realising the exact same goal with Small Tech and the Small Web.

THERE IS AN ANSWER! #Invidious

THE ANSWER is using #Invidious filtered links in your posts. (Add the YouTube link as 2nd link / backup) - e.g.

1/ redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=…

2/ youtube.com/watch?v=yHoLopZSYJ… (original

#SmallTech and the #SmallWeb.

-----------------------------

1/ Invidious loads AND #filters out the #bad from the page

2/ youtube.com google has all the #tracking and #harvesting - so it's good to filter it out with invidious links first / main method of defence.
