  I think a better way to think about this is not that Youtube wants to improve itself and grow the platform, but that Youtube has cornered the performance art of punching oneself in the crotch using the heads of their content creators.

  Be sure to like, subscribe and ring the bell so you can see them punch themselves in the crotch next time!

  So they want to reauthorize the surveillance law that likely has yielded sigint which can probably show collusion between trump's team and Russia during the election?

  No, they want to be AOL and Prodigy for the 21st century and control not just your internet experience, but all media and communication.

  Re: Configure to prevent exploitation at the source

  While I agree with you, most of the design of the control software on these devices doesn't even assume that a home network would have more than 1 broadcast domain or subnet. This leads to apps not being able to connect from wireless if the IoT thing is on another subnet/etc.
  
  It causes some issues from time to time, especially when they auto-discover their counterparts or control devices on one subnet and don't think there might be another locally. I recently had an issue with chromecast like this: It was joined to the 2.4gHz wireless, which was technically being used as a sort of "device wifi" and my phone on the 5gHz wireless (on another subnet/vlan) wouldn't allow me to enter an IP - it just kept trying to search the one vlan/subnet.
  
  That was before they released chromecasts with 5gHz support, so maybe they fixed this, but things like these non-considerations for more complicated home networks turn me off to most IoT devices. That and I trust the security in them so little I doubt I would let the vlan they are on out to the internet, which probably breaks most of them.
  
  tl/dr: agreed, but that breaks a lot of the functionality of these things.

  "Protect our trade craft" is a statement a surveillance outfit, not a law enforcement agency, makes. That's the terrifying disclosure: The FBI just admitted they aren't interested in law enforcement, they are interested in espionage.
