Embed privacy: Free 2-click-privacy plugin for YouTube and Twitter

Epiphyt offers a very helpful and free WordPress plugin for blocking YouTube and Twitter embeds called Embed Privacy. The plugin shows an information screen instead of directly connecting to YouTube or Twitters server, visitors then can load the video manually:

Screenshot blocked video with option to load if and info about YouTube privacy terms

And the best part: It also works in Gutenberg editor!

Thanks very much to the devs for providing this as free and open source, really important for GDPR-compliance and for the broader WP community!
