FBI Demands Identities of Users Who Watch Certain YouTube Videos

It gets worse: the govt requested the IP addresses of people who did not have Google accounts.

Meanwhile, Google was instructed to keep this request confidential.

How is this even constitutional?

The answer is – it’s not.

Privacy experts argued that the FBI’s actions breached constitutional rights, infringing on the 1st Amendment’s guarantee of free speech and the 4th Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches.

“This is the latest chapter in a disturbing trend where we see government agencies increasingly transforming search warrants into digital dragnets. It’s unconstitutional, it’s terrifying, and it’s happening every day,” remarked executive director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project Albert Fox-Cahn.

“No one should fear a knock at the door from police simply because of what the YouTube algorithm serves up. I’m horrified that the courts are allowing this.”
