Google Removes ‘Pirate’ URLs from Users’ Privately Saved Links::undefined

kinda 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

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.

I 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
