Google handing searches to FEDS

[hipeter924]

So like most single people, I look at 'porn' sometimes, and not from 'illegal' sites. But having got a new modem, Comcast is required to inform that the IP address is being 'monitored for porn' by the agencies that be.

So in other words, every time anyone does a search on google (as I exclusively used google), people are allowed to be added to a IP address watch list, just for trigging one site in a image or link search - even for general stuff like cats (just need a dead link even).

So yeah, Google, you've lost my support. Have a Windows phone, and I am going for a more secure, less porn orientated, search engine.

As Google sold me out, and has potentially put me on a list (or the IP address rather), why should I support them? No 1984 company for me thank you.

Wait, wut? It wouldn't only be your google searches, it would be any search from your ip. Perhaps the previous user of that ip address was arrested for illegal porn. Why not ask comcast to clarify?

Why worry? NSA can download on your computer anything it wants to anyways.

Easiest way is to stop using whatever is sourcing the link, directly or indirectly.

Obviously if whatever shows up in a search, occurs through Google (which I use regulary), then if I start using another search engine it reduces the probability of that same link being targeted again - especially if I use one that is more porn free.

Yeah, which is why I keep anything I consider very private on paper.
