Google's data minefield
Mark Rasch, 2006-01-30

The U.S. government's broad subpoena to search engines effectively seeks to mine the data of the Internet. While Google has resisted the subpoena, there may be little they can do to protect our privacy from many prying eyes.

"Google should already have in place some protection mechanism to prevent porn from being queried by underaged children. "

That sounds like putting too much reponsibility on a company that is providing an index to the web. That's like saying that the phone company must guarantee all the products and services you get from a company if you used the phone book to look up the company.

And a way to check age identification for queries? Boy, we think it's big brother now. The only way would be for you to login with a truly verifiable identity. Then the government would be able to lookup what everyone's searched for by name or SSN. I didn't see you even leaving your name here today when you posted. Are you sure that's what you want? Or are you Admiral Poindexter posting anonymously?
