true. and in this instance it's fine...so it seems.
but then my thoughts strayed to other scenrarios...what if in a divorce hearing, the wife's attorney used her husband's google searches of "big tits" or "angelina jolie" something to defame his character that he was a reprobate and sway the judge in her favor? what if you were held accountable for everything you've ever googled? a quick check on my recent searches brings up somewhat disturbing stuff if taken out of context. I just googled "mexico purse" because I was looking for a cheesy pic to make fun of someone... what is the slippery slope on this? |

I agree, but I think there are a lot of issues that need to be considered. For one, how was the search history acquired? Was it from his cache on his browser? If so, then I have no problem with it. If Google turned over the records then I have a big problem with it. If the ISP turned over the HTTP requests, then I have a slight problem with it. When I will start getting concerned is when the government is asking for things to be turned over that we expect to be private (encrypted transactions, skype conversations, etc.) -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
