Look at the YouTube tool from Amnesty International called YouTube Data Viewer.
It can be found at Citizen Evidence dot Amnesty Usa.org.
So as the name implies, it takes certain information from YouTube videos and it pulls additional information
from it.
So a really good use case for this would be if we're doing an ocean investigation, there happens to
be a YouTube video.
Well, how do we go about investigating that video?
Well.
Will typically look at the video.
Maybe we'll pull it down, we'll analyze the video.
We'll kind of break apart certain images that we see in the video.
We might do reverse image searches on it, try to pull the data is uploaded, the timestamp and and
any other information.
This makes it a little bit easier.
Again, we can do the same stuff.
However, let's take a look at how this tool works.
So I have a random YouTube video open here, so I'm just going to copy the YouTube URL here and we're
going to paste it in the tool here.
And I'm going to click Go.
So right off the bat, we have some basic information here.
We have the video title.
Of course, we have the description in here.
We also have the video ID, we have the upload date and the upload time and.
Currently the video was uploaded in UTC.
We can convert this to local time if we want to by clicking the link here.
And I'm going to go back here.
Now, the great thing about this is it takes thumbnails from the particular video and we see there's
four thumbnails here.
So if I click on Reverse Image Search here.
Then it's going to pull various information here.
So if I can I can just kind of scroll down here.
I don't see any particular matching pictures here.
Well, this may be later on in the video, but going straight from just the surface level of it where
we see I'm going to keep scrolling down here.
Now, this is an exact match, the image that we saw.
So we can see there's a couple of YouTube videos here.
And not all of these are the same title.
So these are actually different videos.
So we may potentially be able to get more information from these other videos here.
And I can see here that this one here says for Chris's World Board, Chris's World on Pinterest.
So again, if I'm investigating that particular video, for whatever reason, I see that, well, hey,
this video is linked also to this Pinterest site.
So I can go there and potentially get more information about it.
And if I go back here, we can click on the other images.
And again, it'll do a reverse image search with using Google.
And I can just scroll down in here and I can see, well, now I have some hits that aren't directly
tied to YouTube.
So again, pretty useful tool.
Really interesting.
It's free.
It's online again.
You can find it at Citizen evidence dot Amnesty USA.
Org And again this is an Amnesty international tool YouTube data viewer.
Thank you for watching.
I'll see you next video.
