Ottawa on the Fediverse:
Ottawa chatrooms:
-
XMPP: empty
-
Telegram: https://t.me/chatottawa
-
Discord: https://discord.gg/TrCHrucmqJ
Please note the following:
* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.
* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.

If only google cared about the law
Do you think Google is the one requesting and posting these videos on YouTube?
Also: Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is nothing illegal about making public what you retrieved from a public info request under, for example, ATIP. If that's how folks are accessing these videos, then their posting them to YouTube is protected. We can argue it shouldn't be and you'll get no argument from me, but it is.
