> but since we know that in the past people have been send to prison, just because some app on their phone requested an URL from the wrong domain

Do you have a citation? When did that happen?

I had the Bylock story in mind:

There were other apps using tracking pixels with the Bylock domain and their users got arrested too.

It wasn't one big event that someone got arrested for using the app. It was, civil polices were arresting anyone who uses crypto-message apps like ByLock.

We've seen cases where people sent to prison because they are wearing certain T-short. Really.

Here in Lithuania (EU) you can also get in trouble for wearing the wrong t-shirt.

Nazi and Soviet symbols are banned from being shown in public, and you will end up with a fine if caught with a t-shirt or bumper sticker. I believe it’s the case in a few other post-Soviet countries as well.
