Did you know that Google saves every search made and the ip address it was made from? Something about selling the data later on so people can be marketed to more directly.....or something like that.

Go here to backhand those crafty google pricks.

the bright side is that there is so much info that to find anything relevant takes a lot of resources. If they are gonna use it to stop crime ever, I Imagine they would go after the Peder asses, and human traffickers first; and there are so many of those, that by the time they are done with that google and pc's will be obsolete because it will be the year 3030.

I have installed mystart search tool bar and removed all of googles programs from my hardrive... but its still there when i search. My searches are still powered by google in the end so does it make any difference??

How do i completely erase my search history?

Just realized google was also saving my search history.

Not just in the browser..history, cookies, etc which can be cleared regularly...but actually within my google account settings.

I started noticing it was guessing previous searches even after having done history clearing - and even on different computers entirely.

Its nice I can find something of relevance by barely typing what I want, but damn google...these features should require acknowledgement before they begin and otherwise defaulted to "OFF".

I try to use the below as much as possible, but often still myself using google by mistake.

I hope you're right bro, but I'm afraid it's wishful thinking, at least in America. After all, you can't confiscate a pedo's house, land, and assets. LEOs are making too much money on drugs. Where's the war on human traffickers and NAMBLA? I really hope you're right tho man.

EVERYONE tracks and sells your info. Do you have a store discount card? It's tracking EVERYTHING you buy and sending it out to other companies. You credit card keeps track of purchases. Everyone is tracking everyone and what they do/but so they can target people to sell shit to.

whenever I look something "sensitive" up...I use TOR.
