Hello Divij, from a privacy perspective (only):
videos should only load from google, when the user actively gives consent. Embedding it directly would transfer data to google. Usually you can achieve this by creating an image placeholder for that video and notifying the visitor, a click on it would embed a YouTube video. See: https://privacy.apache.org/faq/committers.html Doing it this way would not cause any privacy issues. If you have questions, please ask directly, on privacy@ or on Slack. Other opinions, which I am not so sure with: Related to your other questions: I think a content creator can prevent embeds, if they want to do so. I would assume content creators would do this, if they don't want their video to be embedded. I would not download any video without permission and host it elsewhere. Related to 2), I think lazy consensus or commit-than-review may be a good approach. But projects may be able to handle "what to add" differently.
