I have an Internet Archive account!
« on: August 13, 2025, 03:12:37 AM »
I've had it for a while now, but I'm currently using it to upload new library music videos there, due to YouTube's AI age estimation policy (Which will go into effect tomorrow in my country), which could involve me doxxing myself, or giving private info to them. I'm angry about the update, so that's why I'm uploading on my IA account. Here's the link:

Peace, Love, and Library Music!

I understand why this rule is being introduced as access to adult content by minors is a hot issue in the UK at the moment. It's just frustrating that we are effectively putting ourselves at the mercy of a computer algorithm (or what we now trendily call AI). If you are wrongly identified as a minor you have to prove your age which in a supermarket or the like isn't a problem as they don't retain your information. But I can understand your reluctance to hand over and trust YT/Google with detailed personal information. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out for them.

Incidentally, as a native English speaker, I'd not come across the term 'doxxing' before. It's an American word I see but perfectly sums up a situation in a single word. Of course now you've revealed your identity to all on the forum by way of your IA account. But you'll always be WSBG to us!!
