The CCC English YouTube Channel Terminated

I have it in subscriptions and just noticed accidentally. Couldn't find any info about it. Needless to say there were a lot of excellent videos in there. Some information could be used to do malicious stuff but the same can be said about pretty any technical talk. I doubt that any talk encouraged black hat actions. So why did it disappear? Does anybody have any info about it?

Btw, truly decentralized video platform seems to be a real challenge because of tons of bandwidth necessary (and poor uplink bandwith for most users), I wonder how close we are to getting there.

THIS is the official CCC channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/mediacccde , and the CCC has it's own video hosting here: https://media.ccc.de/

As far as I know CCCen was a copycat (trying to make ad money?)

Oh, I've been tricked. Thanks.

And what a stupid bit of deceit at that! Publishing others' content for your own benefit, especially when they do so themselves, is reprehensible. Aiming for a highly technical niche of natural skeptics seems like a poor strategy. That said; if the CCC were officially disallowed to publish, or quietly advised that they would face sanction for publishing a talk, I might feel differently -- that would be acting in the spirit of the event, and protecting the organizers from reprisal.
