This system gives limited control to the company or | individual hosting the federated server to manage videos hosted | on their platform only. | | The only issue I see in this service is same faced by email and | XMPP servers. So hopefully the federated server is not controlled | by few players like happened in case of email and in spite of | being federated controlled by large players like google, in | another instance WhatsApp and google both used XMPP and removed | support for federation when they became sufficiently large. | FisDugthop wrote: | I am still worried about privacy, and it seems like the design of | PeerTube is no longer flexible enough to consider making the | desired improvements. In particular, it sounds like peers can | still know which videos somebody has requested. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2020-02-13 23:00 UTC)
