Did I just screw myself?

Posting on a throwaway because I’m right now in a panic.

I’ve been interested in drawn feral content for years, especially horses. Last night, I was on my medications, which always help me do dumb shit. So I got the idea in my head to look for ACTUAL content. I wasn’t so stupid as to not try to download TOR...

But I was stupid enough, when TOR wouldn’t download, to use incognito mode. And I looked at a good few videos through a Google search.

Should I be worried? I’ve been a panic since I finished. I live in a state where it’s supposedly just illegal to possess with intent to distribute, not to actually view. Obviously, I don’t intend to possess anything. But who fucking knows whether the "actors", animal or human, were acting of their consent? How likely is it that my ISP going to report me to law enforcement? How likely is it that law enforcement will act on this? I’m an atheist, but I’m praying to God right now that I didn’t just throw my life away.

Not at all. It's illegal for an ISP to monitor what you do, and they have better things to worry about. When you hear about people getting letters from their ISP after downloading pirated stuff it's not initiated by the ISP, the trademark holder tracks it and tells the ISP "IP such and such downloaded this", and to keep their license the ISP will then send you a warning but doesn't send any information about you back to the trademark holder.
 
I think you’ll be fine, man. Viewing bestiality porn in itself isn’t a crime. I mean, it’s pretty fishy, but there are several excuses you could make. Maybe you were curious to see if the real thing existed and you were shocked to find it was true. Maybe your dumb cousin looked it up as a prank. Whatever it is, there aren’t really any legal ramifications (that I know of) for watching that kind of stuff.

People look up questionable shit everyday. The other day I looked up how to make a bomb as a joke with my friends over a video call. Granted, am I probably on the FBI watchlist now? Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised. But they can’t really do anything about search history, as people search stupid shit all the time and never actually cause any harm or break the law. I mean, do you know how many other idiots out there have probably looked up how to make a bomb just for memes?

Also like others have said, the web has way too much traffic to be scanned through human eyes. And you used incognito mode at least, so it’s unlikely you had your browsing history saved.

If you downloaded any of it, however, that’s a different story, like you said. Now that would be hella suspicious.
 
The porn in only illegal in Oregon. Even if you're in Oregon though the odds of you getting into trouble solely for downloading beast porn is practically zero.

I do believe it may have been recently made illegal in FL too but I hope to god (if there is one) that I am wrong.
 
Unless you are flashing it in front of a cop, even in places where it's illegal they don't give a shit. Which is kinda funny because it proves how bullshit their prejudice really is.
 
You shouldn't worry. I mean, they'll not track your or anything. Theyv may know you've been watching that but they'll not visit you or anything

Varies by country. Unsurprisingly, the EU considers "general monitoring" to be a violation of privacy rights (although the court ruling establishing that only happened in 2011), but as of at least two years ago it was still legal (and happening) in the U.S.

Convince enough of the public that it's to "prevent terrorism and stop criminals" and they'll gladly give up some more of their privacy.

With a small semblance of privacy and permits to protest, half of the 1st Amendment is dead.
