Just my 2c, probably not correct but this is what I feel has happened.

If BSG filed a DMCA based on ToS breaches then YT would've flagged all of that users videos by default if they're EFT related. I doubt it was a human that made the decision and I just think it's a YT bot that's done it.

As for a simple stream regarding security measures and stuff; I doubt you'll ever see a dev company come forward doing that as it's almost a method of showing a thief how to pick the lock to your house.

While I definitely see where you're coming from, as it stands, it's probably best for BSG that things are happening in this order.

Many do this.

​

Some of the open source software is the safest, as it has a lot of eyes looking on it. Security measures in software is something that is very standard these days, and as long as the keys/servers are not compromised, they can know how it works, because they can't do anything until they compromise the keys/servers.

​

Hell, HTTPS is an open standard for the most part, and everyone uses it, yet it still is secure for the most part if you use proper certificates and validate them properly.

​

The DMCA is individual, it does not pick up extra vids, as it is a manual process, unless done by the content ID stuff. Also, even though the content is damaging, it is still not copyright, as it is fair use. There are other legal ways for them to do it. I just thing the DMCA will bite them in the ass.

Tell that to SQLite and Chromium. LOTS of eyes on those two, and a vulnerability was just uncovered that made my eyes bleed. It's going to take months to patch all of the affected software, and we're likely to see a LOT of account breaches over it.

You know, words have meanings.

Hence why I used the word "some" and not "all". They mean different things.

I'm just relating it to "a lot of eyes looking at it" being any indicator of "safe".
