"Federal authorities have reportedly ordered Google to provide information about viewers of select YouTube videos, including their names, addresses, and phone number . . ."

"The requests are raising alarms for privacy experts who say the requests are unconstitutional and are 'transforming search warrants into digital dragnets' by potentially targeting individuals who are not associated with a crime based simply on what they may have watched online."

Loyal citizens have nothing to fear!

I assume anyone who refuses to show their state is a fed trying to honey pot people. It doesn't help that they usually post the most rabble rousing material.

The meat of the article:

Specifically, authorities have reportedly asked for information about individuals who watched certain videos on the site between Jan. 1-8, 2023 as part of an investigation into “elonmuskwhm.” The authorities also requested the user activity for those accounts.

According to Forbes, the investigation into elonmuskwhm is focused on that individual selling Bitcoin for cash, which is a violation of money laundering laws. The sale also constitutes an unlicensed money-transferring business. As part of the investigation, undercover agents reportedly sent links of YouTube tutorials that covered mapping via drones and augmented reality software to elonmuskwhm, and then asked Google to provide details on who had viewed the videos. The videos received more than 30,000 views.

Relax. Social scoring requires everyone to be ranked. Your online activities are just one segment of a broader multi-layered scoring system.

I think some one at Forbes is confused.  Bitcoin is your property, it is considered a commodity, and you can sell it.  Also, a private sale is not a money transferring business.  This was all settled years ago.
I wish I could remember if I had watched the video or not.  I don't think I did, but I can't remember for sure.  Oh Well!

Taylor Swift songs, Dylan Mulvaney make-up tips, Jardiance ads, and penguin mating videos were exempted from the request so GD is fine.

Bitcoin is subject to anti money laundering laws just like anything else.

A VPN is like a condom or a metal detector ... it's security theater.

Great for accessing commercial services like Netflix from other countries, but it's
not going to stop the feds from shooting your dog.

Some people don't think TCP/IP be like it be but it do.
When your device connects with YT they do a handshake.  YT gets your IP for routing the vedio to you,  Recording your IP and matching it to an address/name is easy peasy.
