YouTube says that I can't watch this video because "it contains content from MIT" and is thus "not available in your country". (A) It's OPEN course ware, and (B) I'm in Massachusetts, you fucking assholes

... I could literally, not figuratively, WALK to the room where that was filmed.

@bstacey not available here in the UK either, which begs the question, which country/ies *is* it available in?

@wolfie @bstacey judging the results by randomly switching the IP I would say none... lol

@bstacey region locking videos is in itself ridiculous, this doubly so

@bstacey maybe they're having a tiff with mit over something and blocking mit stuff... around mit? 🤔

( probably not, tho.... )

@bstacey
have you tried
> mirror.cat

not sure how it works/searches but it mirrors youtube.

@bstacey seems *any* OCW from MIT is "not available" in my country. Admitted, I'm not in the US still sounds like a curious conception of openness.

That said, I'm fed up with these GAFAM fuckers.

@dataKnightmare @bstacey Replace "you" with "hook" in YouTube url, then you will be able to watch it.

@dataKnightmare @bstacey It will work on your computer, not sure for phone.
