They don’t understand that we never agreed to any of their TOS/policies, they don’t understand that we don’t use their API.
What now?
Things will continue normally until they can’t anymore.
Assume it’s just the start.
Assume they’ll ask GitHub to takedown the repos (if so go to our Gitea https://gitea.invidious.io/iv-org ).
Assume the team wont be able to work on Invidious.
You know what you have to do.
May Invidious live and prosper, with, or without us.
PS: We won’t do anything unless we have to.
PS-2: If we are forced to quit, any funds remaining will go to Framasoft (and maybe some other organization working on FOSS/privacy)
Does that mean they will also be targeting Piped?
Google and the rest of these types of companies are constantly targeting possible competitors/alternatives with their legal wing. They’ll just sit and collect as much data as they can until they feel its the right opportunity to hit them with a DMCA or some other legal crap they can get away with since they have legal teams on the payroll.
