I've been working on private website translation - individual chunks of text from the webpage are found and personal information is removed. The text is then sent to a server which breaks the page up into small chunks, before translating it using DeepL and sending it back.

I'm taking as many steps as possible to make sure that the website text not only remains secure, but also completely anonymous, without ruining the translation. I'm doing some fine tuning and a beta should be available in 1-2 weeks.

DRM isn't just a problem in the U.S. Thanks to the way in which copyright law has been globalized through a series of trade agreements, much of the world has similar laws on the books to DMCA 1201. eff.org/deeplinks/2020/11/le…

We are taking a stand for developers and have reinstated the youtube-dl repo. Section 1201 of the DMCA is broken and needs to be fixed. Developers should have the freedom to tinker. That's how you get great tools like youtube-dl. github.blog/2020-11-16-stand…

Standing up for developers: youtube-dl is back

Today we reinstated youtube-dl, a popular project on GitHub, after we received additional information about the project that enabled us to reverse a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown.
