I mean, we know they can be used as evidence against you, but what if I was actually just chilling and watching Youtube videos at home? Can my spying piece of shit phone ironically save me? 🤔

    Major systems like YouTube generate logs. Even your Mac or PC generates copious logs. Those logs / the info will be subpoenaed. It’s easy to tell if someone was interacting with a site when you contact the people who run it.

      Yes, but not mouse movements. It’ll be things like then clicking on videos and page views. That can be automated easily.
