Description

They force users to deceit their new and unacceptable license agreement, and consider keeping using their services (staying vague in what exactly describe “using their services”) imply agreeing to said licence update.

I can’t find the time to save the content I own that is hosted on YouTube to delete it, I have no guarantee they won’t keep a copy and no way of checking, I have no way to just disagreeing to this new license.

Moreover there’s some content I uploaded there that I did not produce but for which I was granted the authorization to upload it to YouTube under previous YouTube rules. This content is embedded in websites. I cannot determine if the producer of the content would agree with YouTube, I’m taken hostage by YouTube and its mother company Google.

Where can you find this?
