Entrapment isn’t just “any time police trick you during an investigation”. It is only entrapment if the police actually induce you to commit the crime you are charged with. Viewing these videos is not a crime.

Presumably the police think that people who viewed those videos are somewhat likely to have committed some crime.

At least some of those people wouldn't have thought of committing that crime without being exposed to those videos.

That's not at the level of a cop saying "hey, let's go rob a bank" to some sap, but ...

I think you have missed a key detail in the story. None of the video content is in any way criminal.

It’s an attempt to unmask someone the police are investigating for completely unrelated criminal activity (money laundering with cryptocurrencies). The video was apparently something completely innocuous about drone surveying.

and yet delorean

Entrapment is a practice in which a law enforcement agent or an agent of the state induces a person to commit a "crime" that the person would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit.

Viewing the links and using technology covered by those is anything but. This is trying to make crime suspects out of thin air. So much for fucking free democratic society.

I read that as “they sent a list of URLs”. Not, “they uploaded a bunch of videos”.
