The feds want YOUR web searches

If you’re not worried about this, you should be.

It seems that Big Brother has subpoenaed Google’s search records. As far as I can tell, this is a fairly blanket subpoena, “including a request for 1 million random Web addresses and records of all Google searches from any one-week period.”

Ostensibly, this is part of the feds’ attempt to re-instate the 1998 Child Online Protection Act. Nonetheless, I don’t trust this administration with such personal information, particularly on such a large scale. This is the administration, after all, that contended it didn’t need judicial permission to wiretap American citizens domestically. Do you trust it not to exploit this information?
