I feel like nobody really uses #vimeo itself anymore, but I’m worried about sites like Dropout.TV which use Vimeo OTT *extensively* behind the scenes. Any word on whether they’re seeing any impact by the private equity acquisition?
Hopefully all these companies that are basically built entirely on the back of Vimeo’s platform have some ironclad contracts 👀
Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN”
A VPN ban isn’t really stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.
Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK.
And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw
