TERMS / UPDATED 17 SEPTEMBER 2026

Terms of use.

Owner-operated project.Current Friction is operated by Timo Krämer. The newsroom and publishing integration are not currently offered as a public multi-user service.

1. Scope

These terms govern use of the Current Friction website and the operator-controlled newsroom and publishing integration. The website provides project information. It does not itself create an account, take payment or grant public access to the internal workflow.

2. Google and YouTube

The publishing integration uses Google OAuth and YouTube API Services to connect the operator's YouTube channel, read its own channel and video metadata and upload an approved video. By authorising or using these YouTube API features, the user also agrees to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of information is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Access can be revoked through Google's third-party access settings. Current Friction's own processing is described in the privacy notice and its deletion instructions.

3. Upload control

The operator must review the finished media package and select the intended platforms. For a YouTube upload, the package must show the title, description and privacy status: public, private or unlisted. The exact approved version is identified by content ID, version and cryptographic hash. No upload is authorised until the operator issues the exact command POSTEN.

4. Content and rights

The operator is responsible for ensuring that uploaded material complies with applicable law, the YouTube Community Guidelines, copyright and personality rights, and the rules of every selected platform. A source being publicly accessible does not make it free to reuse. Media must have documented permission for the intended commercial and platform use.

5. Availability and changes

The project is still being developed. Features may be corrected, paused or withdrawn for security, legal, platform-policy or operational reasons. These terms and the privacy notice are updated when the integration or applicable requirements change.
