AFAIK, this account only posted videos of footage from CCC events. What happened?

THIS is the official CCC channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/mediacccde and CCCen was a copycat (trying to make ad money?)

CCC also has its own video portal here: https://media.ccc.de/

Oh wow, the other one has always turned up better for me in search results. Wasn't even aware of it. Thank you!

Speculating here. "Deceptive practices" - do they mean the hacking tutorials? In any case, this is worrying as that account was a great source of information; often shedding light on the shoddy state of modern tech security.
