So, hear me out: I’ve read in many posts, articles, opinion pieces, etc how Youtube will be impossible to replace because of the sheer amount of data it stores. Any youtube replacement would need huge data centers and therefore a tremendous amount of money to keep everything running smoothly in terms of hardware, staff, etc.

Seeing as in recent discussions about human rights, and specifically third-generation human rights, the right to economic and social development, and the right to education and communication are mentioned, it makes sense to consider not only access to the Internet, but to platforms that store valuable data, like videos, as rights that should be guaranteed by international organizations.

So would it be too crazy to think that it should be an international human rights organization the one that steps up and provides an alternative to youtube? Securing the hardware, the human resources, and the capital to launch a non-profit, privacy-friendly platform?
