I watched the video on the Twitter #pizzagate feed the day before yesterday. I tried to watch it again yesterday (Saturday), and found I couldn't, as it has a content warning stating "This video may be inappropriate for some users", and requires signing in to confirm your age. Let me know if this works (never done this before): https://sli.mg/rdUIEU
I apologize for not being more technically knowledgeable, but does this mean that when the video had been posted on Twitter, it would have been watchable on the Twitter feed, even with restricted content? Even so, I'm quite sure I opened the video in a new tab and watched it on the Youtube website.
Yes, that's another way to get around age restriction, posting it to another webpage. The method I listed in previous post will actually let you watch the video on youtube though. Good to know if you ever want to watch a video without signing in.
well age restriction is very common for videos, could it be that you watched it while being signed in to youtube/google and when rewatching it you weren't?
I don't have a google/youtube account, so that couldn't have happened. If it can be shown that I have made a mistake, then of course this post should be deleted, and if so, I apologize for the waste of time.
Edit: I just conducted an experiment by posting a restricted video to Twitter. It is possible to watch the video on Twitter, but when I tried to open the video in a new tab to watch it on Youtube, it didn't work. I'm quite sure that when I watched the Aquino video on Friday, I watched it on the Youtube site.

Click on share, then embed, then show more to get around age restriction.
