PeerTube is an open-source, decentralized video streaming platform that allows users to share and watch videos, movies, and other content with friends and family. It is based on the same technology as BitTorrent, which is a file sharing protocol that allows users to download and share large files over the internet. PeerTube is designed to be an alternative to centralized video-sharing websites, such as YouTube and Vimeo, that are owned and operated by a single company. In contrast, PeerTube is distributed across hundreds of different servers, which makes it more reliable and secure. It also allows users to control their own content, as well as privacy settings, and to monetize their content if they choose to. With PeerTube, users can upload, watch, and share videos without having to worry about their data being accessed or shared by a centralized entity.

PeerTube se encuentra actualmente en alfa y será beta en marzo. Es software libre, descentralizado, compartido y basado en el principio de instancia. De hecho, todos pueden crear su propia instancia y compartir su contenido con el contenido de otras instancias. Esto le da completa libertad de expresión, un servicio neutral, una diversidad de contenido mucho mayor, e incluso la posibilidad de pagar videógrafos basados en modelos más justos y diferentes. Pero, sobre todo, para ofrecer una alternativa gratuita a GAFAM y su modelo. Para obtener más información, visite el sitio web de FramaTube, propuesto por la asociación Framasoft.
