Web site not working for me. Is CPR in this context, CPR? Or is this some other use of the same letters?

50,922 phone searches at the border in a single year

There are about 257 million people traveling to the US to or from other countries each year. That means less than 0.02% of those encounter a device search. The article itself also notes that the social media reporting system is not even in effect.

Is the situation is worse than in the past? Absolutely! Is it still deteriorating? Yes. Do we need to improve it? Yes! But perspective matters too. Your chance of a device search upon entering the US is really small. There are many countries around the world where dev searches happen, and some even have criminal penalties for refusing.

I would say the US is scary-ER than in the past. But the scary-EST? Social media doesn’t do nuance, and everything is either the very best or the very worst thing ever…

Different person here, but with yt-dlp I never see ads. Well, not the ones YT adds. The only thing I ever saw is if somebody diverts into speaking an ad in their own voice as part of their stream. That’s harder to prevent. For YT ad inserts tho, can’t remember ever seeing one.

Ppl have been accused of crimes for pointing out, in a 100% white-hat way, that a site lets you access other ppl’s accounts just by incrementing a number in the URL. No verification against it.

If someone abuses that maliciously? Sure, go after them. But these were honest security white-hats trying to warn, before scammers exploited it.

To be fair, being accused for that is exceptional, not normal. But it has happened. More than once!
