The government isn't just getting warrants for any video they want to know who watched it. They sent a specific target some links to specific videos and they know the subject of the investigation watched them within that specific time frame.

I, too, view it the same as when Feds used to go to libraries demanding to know who checked out stuff like Catcher in the Rye.

It was unconstitutional bullshit during the Red Scare, it was unconstitutional bullshit when the PATRIOT act enabled it, and it's unconstitutional bullshit now that "library book" has changed to "YouTube video."

(EDIT: to reflect you did say the similar things about reading habits in your second paragraph.)
