L4sBotGoogle Removes ‘Pirate’ URLs from Users’ Privately Saved Links
darkkitekinda makes sense. it’s like if a youtube video or soundcloud track gets DCMA’d then they’re going to remove the link.
if it was you actual browser bookmark i would understand the outrage.
im still on FF tho
Just yesterday I saw a post that they did in fact remove bookmark and notified user about it with detail
KairuByteA users bookmarks on the browser, and a collection saved on google, are different things. One is private, the other can be shared.
Isn’t removing the bookmarks from people’s browser what they’re mad about? Now that Google is selling content through YouTube TV, I’ll bet they crack down hard on piracy. The old reddit /r/NFLstreams moved to a site a lot of people know. Now that Google owns Sunday ticket, I will not be surprised if it gets DDoS’d to shit this year and becomes borderline unusable. We’ll find out next week I guess.
This is from the “saved” bookmarks in the Google app.
This is not referring to actually removing a video from YouTube. If it was, removing the link from the “saved links” would be unnecessary because the video wouldn’t be there anymore anyway.
SnipingNinjaI skimmed through the article and didn’t see it mentioned, but in another post I read that this was only done for a shared collection, as in it was at least semi public if not public
yeah but it’s nice to know what has actually been removed so you can get the song/video elsewhere
