http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=63723A terrifying war is being fought in the digital second world of modern life. Technology designed to soak up individuals' private communications is in constant development. In the age of cyber surveillance where does the boundary between private and public fall -- if it still exists at all?
In part 2 of the Cypherpunks interview, the problems of privacy and freedom in online communication are raked over by Julian Assange with his guests Andy Muller Maguhn, Jeremie Zimmerman and Jacob Appelbaum. They look for solutions to state and corporate lead invasions of privacy and restrictions on the free movement of information. The movement dedicated to freeing up individuals to use the internet anonymously, safely and freely, and that the way to solve problems created by the internet is not through greater control and policing. Applebaum sums their argument up, claiming "The answer is not to destroy a medium or to police that medium. It is when you find evidence to prosecute the crimes that the medium has documented. It is not to weaken that medium; it is not to cripple society as a whole over this thing." However, it's Julian who defines their vision for the potential of the internet: "So when you look at the balance between powerful insiders knowing every credit card transaction in the world, shadow states of information that are starting to develop and swapping with each other and developing alliances and connections with each other, and into the private sectors and so on versus the increased size of the commons, then the Internet is a common tool for humanity to speak to itself, and to increase its power...".
About the Site π
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube πΊ
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. π
Content and Users π΅
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact π€
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. π
