By users, do they mean gmail user ID, or actually any anonymous user by IP address? If so, this information could be also be used by other inquirers to track those who have viewed political videos as well, or left comments at sites, viewed “rumors” in the news, etc. etc...

When it happens to FreeRepublic, they'll want to know the ip address of every user who has ever clicked on a FreeRepublic link, how long he or she viewed it before clicking on another FR link, and (if he was a registered user) every comment he ever made on FR (including all the FreepMail he exchanged with other Freepers).
This will be a very, very bad precedent if it stands (I just wish I knew what those odds were).
Exactly.
