 > I am inclined to close this out as a `wontfix`. However, there are
 several regular Core contributors that do work at Google and I'd like to
 see about getting any thoughts they may have. I'll ping them separately
 and invite them to engage if they'd like to. For now, I'll leave this
 marked as `close` and return in a month or two to actually close if there
 is no change of heart for the committers that have stated their preference
 already. I'm also clearing the ticket owner since @williampatton expressed
 a willingness to step aside since the path forward was not clear.

 Thanks for clearing me of owner on this, I'd be happy to pick it back up
 and action on it if a path forward opens up again.

 I've thought a lot about this ticket over many months and I can't make up
 my mind on exactly what would be right. I previously was of the opinion
 that making this the default for NEW content was the right option however
 I was under the impression at that time that it was fully GDPR compliant
 AND gave site visitors a free choice of how to view the video. Seems like
 that was not correct.

 My latest thinking here is that I no longer believe making this a default
 (or even an exposed option) would be the right move. Adding an oembed
 handler for this wouldn't be a bad thing though if content creators chose
 to embed the links to this provider themselves.
