Bsky #ECPA people: Do you think that police can obtain the records requested in these cases with a D-Order? In effect, police are finding out what content (currently unknown) people viewed, and normally that requires a warrant. 1/2

Feds Ordered Google To Unmask Certain YouTube Users. Critics Say It’s ‘Terrifying.’www.forbes.com The federal government asked Google to turn over information on anyone who viewed multiple YouTube videos. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional.

The police got D-Orders, which require "reasonable grounds" and are a lower standard than a "probable cause" warrant. In the NH case, the reasonable grounds are that "the threat and apparent live stream is part of a pattern of recent similar conduct". What does that mean?

Makes you wonder why there's such a demand for strong encryption.

One interesting thing about this case is how incomprehensible the "reasonable grounds" for the search are. The application states: "the threat and apparent live stream is part of a pattern of recent similar conduct". What does that mean? Did the perp call and say he was watching in the other cases?

Makes you wonder why there's such a demand for strong encryption.
