Check the actual connection for the video server, until a few months ago, that was still RC4. They only changed to 128-bit AES-GCM with ECDSA after Firefox started blocking RC4 encryption.
So the YouTube web pages still wouldn't load, no?
Now, the videos wouldn’t load either.
Suggestions like banning strong encryption is a form of ritual abuse. It is meant to get the public used to the idea of pervasive surveillance. That pervasive surveillance will be carried out through a continuation of what existed before the Snowden revelations, which was a successful Straussian confection of fake freedom, carefully managed.
