Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

YouTube on Wednesday began allowing users to share "private" videos among an unlimited number of other people.

The Google-owned video-sharing site, in a post on the YouTube blog, said only people who receive a link to an "unlisted video" can watch it and it will not appear in YouTube's public pages or search results.

YouTube said there is no limit to the number of people who can view an "unlisted video" and a user does not need a YouTube account to watch it.

"You'll get a link when you upload the video and then it's up to you to decide whom to share it with," YouTube said.

YouTube previously set at 25 the number of people who could view a video privately and they needed to have a YouTube account to do so.
