The federal government asked Google to turn over information on anyone who viewed multiple YouTube videos. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional.
As a google user, what… what am I doing wrong right?
Using a browser instead of the YouTube app?
Unless you’re talking about Google links then yes. Amazon too, along with many other services. There’s a ClearURLs Firefox add-on to remove them automatically.
But it’s insidious with YouTube because people are much more likely to share YouTube videos on a public forum, and they just randomly started doing it one day.

Bingo. I’m using Chrome app on WinX desktop. (and yes, I’m a total idiot who’s taken too long to switch over to FF & linux)
Cool. Myself, I just manually clear that tracking rubbish in the URL field, but I get that such is way easier on desktop browser.
And I’m also using Gmail! :S
So just for gits & shiggles-- how badly would you say I might be hurt by my foolishness, at this rate?

Btw, Nebula-- are you able to federate back and forth with Mastodon & Lemmy as a single stream? I’d love to see that.
