Related side note: I've always had a suspicion that one of the ideas I was working on using Google Colab was viewed by an employee and leaked, because someone wrote a blog post with the exact same idea (very niche) before I got round to releasing mine (I ended up not bothering due to being gazumped), and a Google Colab employee tweeted that blog post. (Puts on tin foil hat.. I stopped using Colab after that.)

Can you share the blog post?

The friend is quite relevant. There is no expectation of a video stored on a Google system being private to Google employees, but there is an expectation that they will not take that information outside of Google.

> There is no expectation of a video stored on a Google system being private to Google employees "No expectation" of it not being available to "some" employees maybe, but there is certainly ways to restrict access to only a need-to-know employees. Ideally no employees at all unless some sort of automated monitoring system flags it or there is an outside report. Just like some social networks, I would "expect" only se…

There should be auditing of such access as well. Companies need to post videos early in order to be sure they are available as soon as they launch a product. I wonder what kind of insider trading opportunities this has created for Google employees.

I never knew Youtube did child labour?

In many states its legal for people 16-18 to work, usually with limitations on hours worked per shift/week an what kind of jobs they can do. Even then, many older people in the US will call someone 18-20 "kids", even though they're technically adults. As a US English speaker I took it to mean "a bunch of young and immature people, probably on their first job" when I heard "most people are just kids", not that they're…

In all 50 states it is legal for people 16+ to work full time.

its from one of the content moderators. they are all hired and managed through recruiting agency. there was over 10k of us while I was there. and most people are just kids with one week of on boarding doing short term contract. whoever did it is blackballed by biggest recruiting agency in the world. way to get your life crazy difficult over reddit points

so youtube content moderators can just view anyone's private videos willy nilly?

If you have confidential data don't upload it to Youtube, or really anybody else's servers.

Maybe the boomer companies that never trusted SaaS were right in the end... though that list is fairly thin.

I can't say I know the law in every state so I typically don't say absolutes like that. If that's true, thanks for clarifying/correcting.

Also, it looks like you're right for at least the states I normally deal with. Looking back the first job I had started when I was still 15, I must have just blended those shift schedule restrictions during the rest of my time working as 16-17 as well. So yeah, I guess that's probably true.

Kids are literally dying in Tyson affiliated chicken plants down south and nobody is going to prison.

Why WOULDN'T youtube use child labor if it's cheaper?

My favourite are the one that leaked a tank data on a discord just to prove that they were right.

The number of state secrets protected by a 20 year old E-4 whose only motivation is to not get chewed out (and/or jail) is probably staggering.

Title is difficult to decipher, here’s what it’s about: > A new report on old privacy incidents [2017] suggests that at least one Nintendo leak came from a Google employee showing off private YouTube videos to a friend.

I think you're overvaluing the power of recruiting agencies

> no such thing as computer security There absolutely is for anyone who cares to use it. That sort of defeatist mindset is super counterproductive, and ends up putting more people in harm's way. We're talking about people choosing to upload unencrypted content to a cloud service that is obviously publicly available. The security/privacy properties of this action I think should be obvious even to less technical users.

Yeah, man. These are all the end users' fault: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_data_breaches Totally.

Sysadmins are also people. Also I've been pushing for informative security scoring for publicly used services for over a decade. If you're in the field, it's pretty obvious which services are at high risk of being breached, but that really should be something more accessible to the general public, like FDA letter grading for restaurants.
