I like invidious.snopyta.org because its parent website seems to be a privacy focused organization, but is it actually good for privacy, and are there any other Invidious instances with good privacy track records?

    Maybe on Debian, I don’t have any specific knowledge of their view of such things. I don’t think they have network or technological barriers to running it if they want.

    In terms of youtube, the takedown specifically calls (bogusly) out tos violations.

    As there, the youtube-dl source code available on Github (which is the subject of this notice) circumvents YouTube’s rolling cipher to gain unauthorized access to copyrighted audio files, in violation of YouTube’s express terms of service,3 and in plain violation of Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §1201.
