Is The Energy Area safe?
The Energy Area sends YouTube video IDs, channel IDs, and video-frame hashes to XCAD Network APIs.
When you watch YouTube, The Energy Area reads the current video's ID and channel ID after its watch threshold is met. It also samples frames from the video, hashes the pixel data, and sends the watch and parcel progress data with the user's access token to XCAD Network API endpoints.
