There's https://rutube.ru/ as well.
It actually sucks. The worst video platform in Russia.
VK Video and Dzen are way better.
YouTube gets reminder to follow EU law over Hamas content

Re: YouTube gets reminder to follow EU law over Hamas content
#52Stated purpose of law: prohibits advocating genocide. Actual effect of law: prohibits preserving evidence of genocide. I know there’s, broadly speaking, a difference in how freedom of speech is defined in America versus Europe. The (slightly inflammatory) description above is why I personally find the “European” definition distasteful.
The protections of speech in the US are exemplary and I think Europe needs to move in that direction.
Some countries try to penalize insults because they undermine dignity, but I believe that not to be the case necessarily and the paternalizing approach can be even worse for that. In practice, if you look at online discussion, half of the population would be criminals and repeat offenders for that matter.
Most often these restrictions are indeed well-meaning, but not in every case and there are side effects you are describing.
Antisemitism got bad again, but it is restricted to a certain demographic and I don't like the idea to reduce rights because there are some problem actors.

#54Yeah the eu should really be worried. When masses of people have no shame or fear hiding sympathy for obviously terrorist actions then there’s a massive massive issue at hand and thats not a YouTube or tiktok video. Thats a power vacuum that will manifest itself in grotesque ways in the coming future. The dark forces to be are only beginning to realise it.

Isn't that part of the desired effect / goal?
