He talks about the No Chat Reports mod in the second video starting around 8:30 (and throughout the third video). If you start watching these, I suggest you watch them all (I was able to listen in the background and understand just fine playing at 2x) because Microsoft/Mojang have been quietly sneaking in changes that he explains in the subsequent videos.
Wow. Long time watching these, and only into the third one right now but this is pretty bad. I mean, the guy doing the videos is certainly sensationalizing it, but there is real validity to what he is saying.

Edit: 709, you are still the man! I love it!
