Google to Anonymize Users' Search Data

Posted by samzenpus on from the poof-you're-gone dept.

Google's official blog states they are on an effort to anonymize their search data after 18-24 months. After previously fighting turning over search data to the feds, it looks like they are striking another blow to the "think of the children" crowd. Any bets on whether MSN or Yahoo! will follow suit?

    Stop googling for "jihad death to american president" if you're worried about getting caught.

    I should point out that your google query goes over plaintext HTTP so anyone inbetween can eavesdrop on your queries.
