I dont understand this, if it can be bypassed, by definition, it is not secure?

Vimeo?
An example of Vimeo terminating an account of a guy reviewing rat traps after he paid Vimeo's $240 fee:

#44I know this might not be a popular opinion. But showing people how to hack systems... that seems like an OK thing to ban. It's a crime. Teaching people how to commit a crime has always been not OK.
A lot of knowledge can be used to commit crimes. That's a lot of knowledge that should be removed from the public, even if by force.

knowledge about how do something is the first step to protect against it.

#46There are thousands of hours of excellent cybersecurity content hosted on YouTube. The possibility of losing this wealth of information and history is shocking to me. Time to start the archive effort. And to finally appreciate what so many other communities have gone through when they've found themselves on the wrong side of one of the internet behemoths. I feel naive.
Do you have any recommendations on channels to archive?
PeerTube lets you import YouTube videos.

#47So only for computer systems? LockPickingLawyer is still safe for now? That said, are they just going to push these people out to less annoying formats like a blog or a wiki instead of overly long video presentations?
The policy also says "Instructional theft: Showing users how to steal money or tangible goods." [0] I could see LockPickingLawyer falling under this category.

#48This is as good a time as any to start archiving your favorite channels, you can point youtube-dl at a video URL, a playlist, or a username.
brew install youtube-dl

#49Not anymore a conspiracy theory. This is the actual big brother modeling our futures, a group of people powerful enough, with their own interests and their own agenda with access to most peoples minds/lives, and who already publicly explained how they plan to influence on global geopolitics and society building.
I find it disturbing this level of censorship. At first, it was pedophiles, murders and violent criminal acts, then terrorism and copyright... even without the need of a lawsuit or proper request from a court it is hard to argue against this sort of censorship. But now they started banning and censoring everything they find immoral and the definition of morals is subjective and not even philosophers could argue that there is any common moral, not even among the most uniform society. Good luck to everyone, sooner than later they will change their definition of morality and we all gonna pay with our freedom. I think it is a better win for everyone to defend individual rights over the supposed benefit of collectives as history proved because no one is authorized or qualified enough to decide our collective destiny. But many are the ones who feel entitled to do it.

#50Rhetorical question: If a YouTube video can show how to bypass it, does it really count as a "secure" system?
Rhetorical answer: If you can secure a system through legislation, it is no longer necessary to secure it through engineering.
russia/china/north korea/iran don't follow US legislation.
