Is this actually implemented? Do all browsers in india use weakened TLS or something?
Likely a governmental man-in-the-middle attack.

Sometimes it'll be a single font that gives a person away, even when so many other bits of information are essentially the same.
It works pretty much exactly like how Akinator The Mind Reading Genie works. You narrow down by various yes and no answers, and get to the right answer, or a very close subset, surprisingly quickly.
What surprised me the most was 26,000 people watched Tom and Jerry between 7:30pm and 6:30am on some website. That’s a lot more than I would have expected.
Tom and Jerry is very popular in India. Parents like it because there's no (less) subversive NSFW content (e.g. Bikini Bottom in Spongebob). Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger.

I am trying to understand how it is possible to filter all IP activity for such a (broad) search term. As opposed to say superbowl livestream. They only looked at requests sent to YouTube? Doesn't YouTube use https by default? Did they do a simple YouTube search for 'Tom and Jerry' note down the full URLs for first two pages of search results... and look for those in the ISP logs? DNS lookups only show "www.youtube.c…
> A police officer said that they searched for Tom and Jerry cartoons on YouTube and showed three or four of them to the child, who identified one particular cartoon. The URL of this cartoon was sent to the Cyber Cell.

Youtube cartoons are the staple video content to slap onto a mobile or a tv to get toddlers to eat. Here in India, its scary how much parent neglect to engage with children and just put a cartoon and stuff foid into their mouth, while they themselves are busy on a call or fiddling with their phones. Almost every toddler I have seen has an old broken phone as their own video player.
Being so black and white about sticking a video in front of a kid to make sure it sits in one place and eats is dismissive of parents who have to make these decisions in real time.
Do we know those kids don’t get play time with friends? Or down time to get bored and hence be forced to invent games in their own heads? We only see and opine on “bad” behaviour, not the what happens behind closed doors the remaining 23 hrs of the day when the kid is out of our line of sight.

India's encryption laws require service providers to allow law enforcement to intercept, monitor and trace encrypted traffic. Encryption within India is limited by law to weak forms. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/07/indias-draconian-rules...

It is possible that Google is not allowed to operate in India unless they transmit all the keys to the government somehow. If they are forced to share the private key used for Youtube's certificates, that would allow effective MITM, or entirely passive surveillance if a non-ephemeral key suite is used. Google could also be required to send them every ephemeral key.

You got to do what you got to do otherwise you risk the kid going hungry or having a meltdown or both.
