Imagine if someone who served time in prison and afterwards got their life on track had their parole deemed violated because they watched some YouTube videos at the wrong time or their location data placed them close to an event that they had no knowledge of or association with.
So far, not even the courts can agree on whether these orders are constitutional, setting up a likely legal challenge before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Probably because the SCOTUS is occupied completely by geriatric seniors who don’t understand anything about the internet. Anyone who understands the issue can see plain as day that it’s unconstitutional and a violation of American ideals

Imagine the perpetrator of the criminal activity in question veiwed the videos on piped.video but sent a youtu.be link to the agents. All of the information collected by the order would have been innocent people whose 4th amendment rights were violated.
