Is ccc.de down or something? I think reuploading video about enshittification to YouTube and posting it to a privacy-focused channel is exactly why we have a risk of losing privacy game.

You do have a point. TBH I only now realized that the video was posted from Doctorow’s personal account, and without a link to the “original”, which yeah, kinda weird.

The talk itself is still worth it (had the fortune of sitting in the audience), but probably a good idea to use the media.ccc.de link.

Sorry, that was the only place I knew it existed at the time. The YT algorithm suggested it to me. I did remove the stupid tracking ID from it though.

Would it be bad taste to swap out the link with the one on ccc.de?

I think it is good to link to the original on ccc.de

Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 04 Jan 09:45 collapse

Post both in the main post.

Doctorow wrote a blog post about this. It has the video and a transcription of it, so you can either watch it, read it or both.

He also has a book on this topic, called Enshittification (I haven’t read it, yet). I believe this talk was part of his book tour for the book. You can buy it DRM-free from his webpage: craphound.com/shop/

I didn’t know Doctor Who was real I thought he was just from a show.

I just read the blog post on pluralistic.net, and wow, that was a good read. So much to unpack, I’m kinda speechless at the moment. Thanks for the link.
