      I’d be surprised if Google completely stamped it out. They’re on Codeberg now, so that’ll make takedowns trickier. It’s also distributed, so taking down the Invidious websites is virtually impossible.

      Also, while Google probably has pretty good lawyers, I’m not sure how well they’ll stand up if they go to court.

        The official reason they gave for the takedown is also false. They claimed that invidious is using the youtube api without permission, which it isn’t.
