Google was ordered to identify people who watched certain YouTube videos.

Police investigating suspected Bitcoin money laundering wanted info on viewers of certain tutorial videos viewed over 30,000 times, Forbes reported.

The court orders show the government telling Google to provide the names, addresses, telephone numbers and user activity for all Google account users who accessed the YouTube videos between January 1 and January 8, 2023. The government also wanted the IP addresses of non-Google account owners who viewed the videos.

The documents reportedly don’t reveal whether Google gave over the information.

How Apple’s lobbyists are trying to make getting an ITC import ban even harder.

The New York Times reports on the campaign pushing the US International Trade Commission “to put the public interest of a product ahead of a ban.”

Apple tried avoiding its Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 import ban late last year by arguing it would have a “detrimental” effect on users. However, the ITC denied this request, saying “public interest favors the protection of intellectual property rights by excluding infringing products.”

Nokia tells Reddit it might be infringing on Nokia’s patents.

In an amended SEC filing ahead of its IPO, Reddit warned potential investors that “...on March 18, 2024, Nokia Technologies sent us a letter indicating they believed that Reddit infringes certain of their patents. We will evaluate their claims.”

Nokia, of course, leaned into, ahem, patent licensing and networking equipment as its business many years ago, and reminded people of it with last year’s logo redesign. Companies paying Nokia licensing fees include HTC, Apple, and more recently, Oppo.
