If you've ever jokingly wondered if your search or viewing history is going to "put you on some kind of list," your concern may be more than warranted.

I have no worries, I always stayed away from speculative investments that don't have any physical assets if that is what bitcoin and the like are.

No (unless you buy something from them, like YouTubeTV or one of their ad-free options)...but they will have your IP address and I'm sure the government has its ways to discover who you are or they wouldn't be asking for the data.

The story's scope is narrow, but you could make a safe bet Biden Administration has a back door and is data mining everything.

Sounded like something to do with Bitcoin?

The videos were sent by undercover police to a suspected cryptocurrency launderer under the username "elonmuskwhm." In conversations with the bitcoin trader, investigators sent links to public YouTube tutorials on mapping via drones and augmented reality software, Forbes details. The videos were watched more than 30,000 times, presumably by thousands of users unrelated to the case.
