GoogleSharing, Now With No Trust Required

An anonymous reader writes "GoogleSharing, the popular Google anonymizing service created by well known privacy advocate and security researcher Moxie Marlinspike, has released a major new version today. The biggest change is leveraging Google's SSL search option to provide an anonymizing service which doesn't require you to trust either Google or GoogleSharing. This means that anyone who wishes to opt out of Google's data collection practices can now do so without having to trust the operator of the anonymizing service."

You want me to trust a corporation like google? If I wanted to search truly Anonymously I'd use Tor First

Not a Rhetorical Question

How is this different from the SSL version of Scroogle search, which has been around for at least a year?

Honestly, I'm too lazy to read TFA tonight, but if there's a benefit to GoogleSharing, what is it?

The worst part is, they're right. As it turns out, the exact same kinds of privacy we want for the right reasons, the bad guys want for the wrong reasons.

So we as a nation have to decide what freedoms we are willing to sacrifice for our safety. We are having a hard time walking that line between freedom and oppression and I expect it will take a long time before things get back to normal. I'm happy that my daughter is too young to understand what's going on in the world. I guess ignorance is bliss but once you become aware of reality it's hard to go back to ignorance again.
