even YouTube got in an exception list. So it's not an "all or nothing" approach, it seems.

Lemmy is too small for governments to care

Youtube got an exeption because Alphabet Inc. lobbied them to do so to get kids used to Youtube. Lemmy does not have the lobbying power like a mega corporation, plus, its a good excuse to get rid of a left-leaning platform, since governments tend to be against the left.

even "crash course" alone is enough of a reason to keep YouTube accessible
