I want to listen to an IETF interim meeting recording.
Note: in this case, an NMOP interim meeting to create the meeting minutes.
So I am logged in the datatracker, I follow the link from
https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/nmop/meetings/ and click on the
Meetecho session recording, which leads to the ietf.org site,
specifically
https://meetecho-player.ietf.org/playout/?session=IETF-NMOP-20250521-1400
And now, I received the message that I must have a Google account to
view this video: "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot"
I don't believe this is right to force me to sign me into YouTube in
order to see IETF-related content.
Am I the only thinking along those lines?
I tried accessing the URL yesterday. It did not require a YouTube
login. I did a quick search and found this:

There was a policy change in or around 2017 to provide better data to
the IETF community and leadership. There weren't a lot of objections
to that change. Anyway, the above is somewhat of a different
issue. The IETF Administration LLC's video hosting service might be
having some difficulty distinguishing between people and automated
harvesters. I don't see why I should log into a service to view
something which is described as "publicly available".
