Ok, so the headline is a bit clickbait-y. It’s not not everyone who ever watched the video that they are interested in, it’s one person they are trying to track down. Still concerning from a privacy standpoint, but it’s not like they are trying to say that watching the video was itself a crime.
Its the same as when feds ask google for location data for everyone near a crime at a given timestamp. Its violating innocent peoples privacy in large swathes.
Google stopped giving location data recently. Hope they keep going.

Thats not the issue.

They never stopped. They said they would stop and then they just kept going. Google is not a trustworthy company.
“We are going to stop doing [action]” is megacorp lingo for “We are going to stop telling you that we do [action]”
