Hey all,
irregardless of the split in our community between privacy pragmatists
and privacy absolutists, I think we should take note of this step
Mozilla has taken, as I believe FSFE still has a Facebook page (last
active on September 21st as far as I can ascertain).
> Dear global community we’ve had the opportunity to interact with over the past several years here:
>
> We’re taking a break from Facebook.
>
> At Mozilla we champion platforms and technologies that are good for the web and good for the people that use it.
> We stand up for transparency and user control because they make the web healthier for us all.
>
> That’s why we are pressing pause on any Facebook activity. Mark Zuckerberg has just promised to improve Facebook’s settings and make them more protective, which is a start! Please do that! But we can’t help but think we’ve heard it before, so we’re still going to wait and see what materializes before we resume spending our ad dollars or time here.
>
> IN THE MEANTIME:
> If you need support for Firefox or want to tweet at us, you can find us here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/
> and https://twitter.com/mozilla

What do you guys think?

youtube-dl is a Free Software command-line program to download videos from
YouTube and hundereds of other platforms.
The development repository of github has not been barred because
of an DMCA takedown notice by RIAA
The software itself can still be downloaded from its homepage:
https://yt-dl.org/
What I wonder is, any smartphone or foto-camera could be used to record
youtube videos and sound which would make them a dual use tools.
And assuming that some platforms and some videos are okay to download,
this should make youtube-dl a dual use tools as well.
So from my point of view either the development of smartphone and youtube-dl
should be barred or neither of them.
Best Regards,
Bernhard
