Damn, they asked Google to turn over IP addresses visiting specific URLs, Google refused, then they collected the data “from the Internet gateway” anyway? So TLS is just broken in India, and the “Internet gateway”, whichever hop that refers to, sees everything in clear text?

Almost like the story isn’t true. Occam’s razor makes this easy. There are no sources, no named officials, it’s all happenstance in text.
YouTube search terms are query parameters in the url so wouldn’t need to break TLS
URL query parameters are encrypted by TLS. The domain is the part that isn’t encrypted.
the url should be covered by tls
What are you talking about
