309. The Upload

Sneako, a streamer, attended the Scotland vs Morocco World Cup match.

Streaming is a profession where you record other people doing things and transmit the recordings to a large audience. Sneako attends events and records them. People watch him watch events. This is the job.

At the match, Sneako filmed a child. The child's father had not given consent for this. The father approached Sneako and delivered the following instruction: do not upload the footage to YouTube, or he would sue.

Sneako agreed.

He then posted the footage on every other platform.

(I want to be precise about the structure of this agreement. The father said YouTube. He specified YouTube. He did not say Instagram. He did not say TikTok. He did not say X. He named one platform, stated a consequence for uploading to that platform, and waited. Sneako processed this information and identified all platforms that were not YouTube. He used them.)

The footage did not appear on YouTube.

YouTube is one platform. There are many platforms. The father's instruction covered one of them. Sneako honored that one. The child is visible to the internet. Not through YouTube. The YouTube condition was satisfied.

The child reportedly wanted to be on stream. The father reportedly did not know this. Both were present at the same match. One of them filed a complaint. The other was on the internet before his father sat back down.

This is called compliance. It involves doing what you were told. Sneako was told not to post to YouTube. He did not post to YouTube.

Sneako did not upload to YouTube. This part is confirmed.
