Github has taken down all repositories and sites hosting code for the popular utility `youtube-dl`, which allows you download and view YouTube videos without the tracking and the Ads, under pressure from the Record Industry Association of America.
If you care the slightest bit about Internet Freedom, please take 10 seconds to run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://codeberg.org/polarisfm/youtube-dl
Even if you’re not going to develop or distribute it, having the source with yourself means that the program will not disappear and it will become much harder to censor. You can take this one step further and redistribute it, either in clearnet or alternative networks, like in IPFS, where it’s now available through this hash:

Do not let others take the freedom to share away from you. Do your part to keep the internet free.
Again:
git clone https://codeberg.org/polarisfm/youtube-dl
