Jeremy Zawodny has an interesting post on his viewpoints about the recent hubbub over the DOJ request. A good read from his opinion, but I’m still confused and expressed my confusion in the comments to the article:
I’m still confused on how this is a privacy issue. There was no personal identifying information tagged to the results that were collected by the DOJ and supplied by the search engines.
Can someone explain how this is a privacy issue? To me it would be the same thing as the DOJ going to every radio station and asking what were the most requested songs from it’s users over a 1-year period.
Or the fact that 4 out of 5 dentists recommend Trident. Is that a privacy issue? Who am I to need to know what kind of chewing gum dentists prefer?
