Another reason to use piped or invidious
they have to ask google for this?
Google owns YouTube
yeah no shit.
I'm surprised they dont already know who watched the videos, with all the domestic spying and shit already happening.
Good thing I have history turned off so I can watch "How to make an AK47 from scratch" in peace :D
They still somehow track your history despite that turned off
Notably with recommendations
For anyone wondering what the videos were:
In a just-unsealed case from Kentucky reviewed by Forbes, undercover cops sought to identify the individual behind the online moniker “elonmuskwhm,” who they suspect of selling bitcoin for cash, potentially running afoul of money laundering laws and rules around unlicensed money transmitting.
When companies tell you they respect your privacy and you should give them your data, you tell them it doesn't matter. Because policies can change, and at the end of the day, your privacy isn't always up to an single company.
Wait. This was last year, so not the capitol riot. What happened in January last year? I'm in a decent mood today. Just going to skip looking deeper into this one. I have Factorio to play!
What videos where meant?
The videos are not very relevant to the topic of privacy and our freedom.
Today it might be "extreme anarchy: how to make homemade bombs and guns". On the surface, its a great idea, go stop those people.
However, next year it could be something rediculous like "how to rip CDs". Clearly you must be pirating, time to fine you $500 or put you through a more costly legal battle trying to prove grandpa's 20 years of CDs were all obtained legally. Wow look at all the free money we just made because most will eat the $500 over hiring a lawyer. What else can we "fine" for?
The idea that the government could use your internet history against you, with no other factors, is as absurd as wire tapping someone and waiting for them to say something they don't like.

How is one supposed to go about creating a multi national gun manufacturing titan if you can't make a few pipe shotguns?

Fixed it for you
I think this comment is possibly one of the best times to use: 🤓
My dude only asked what the videos were lol
🤓🥸🤓
Tell me it was "Top 10 Steven Universe Betrayals" without telling me it was "Top 10 Steven Universe Betrayals"
This picture makes me realize the youtube logo looks like sushi
Am at an Edo's as I type this, can confirm it reminds me of stacked California Rolls. Can also confirm there is no real reason that the YouTube logo should remind me of sushi.
