The Police Are Watching Your Google Searches [link to blogs.lawyers.com] [snip] Google released a transparency report last week showing that government snooping into your personal data is on the rise. The numbers released by the Internet giant show that law enforcement officials in the United States made 8,438 data requests over the second half of 2012, a 6 percent increase from the first six months of the year. Such requests have risen by more than 85 percent since 2010. Of the governmental requests, Google says that it complies with about 89 percent, and 68 percent are made without a search warrant. “It happens to Americans all the time,” writes Elliot S. Schlissel of the New York-based Law Office of Elliot S. Schlissel on the firm blog. “Government agencies have search and subpoena powers with regard to information maintained on your computer, on your emails, stored on your cloud or maintained in cyberspace.” Is there any sure way to keep your personal messages and other electronic data out of the hands of police offices, courtrooms, headlines, and so on? “The best way to maintain the privacy of your most private thoughts is to never put them in writing,” Schlissel advises. duckduckgo.com startpage.com ixquick.com dogpile.com Check these out and do research on how secure they are.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 21445996 Canada01/30/2013 06:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You fools. If you use a smaller search engine like DuckDuckGo, or startpage, then you've signed your own death warrant. Shills try to direct the "crazies" to these smaller search engines (which are all monitored by the way), because now they have all the so-called "whack jobs" concentrated in one area, and are much easier to monitor. It is way harder to monitor Google, because there are literally millions of searches a minute going, which makes it that much harder for the government to track. If you use a small site, with less people, you become more exposed. By using Google, you become a needle in the hay stack. Here's a perfect comparison. If you live a big city, it is harder for the government to point you out, because of the big population. However, if you live in a small rural area, it is much easier to spot you. What have you got to hide anyway? What have you got to lose? This entire site is filled with paranoid mental midgets! Grow a pair, and live hard! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 21445996 Canada01/30/2013 07:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let me play this out hypothetically, to make you understand more clearly. I'm the government. I create or fund a website like startpage, or any other smaller less commercialized website. I go an promote this website on websites like GLP, I implant the notion of fear into the commoner. I tell them, use startpage, they don't track you! It is private and anonymous. The people that are most likely to use startpage, are those that have something to hide. The people that have nothing to hide, or who simply don't give a shit about who's tracking them, will continue to use Google. Now that I've got all these paranoid nutjobs using startpage, I can really dig dirt up on them, because now that they are using startpage, the more likely they will feel more confident. The paranoid user: "I can search anything I want now, because I'm using startpage and not Google". The more paranoid you are, the more you have to hide, the more likely you will draw attention to yourself, and it's when you draw attention to yourself which ultimately seals your fate! |

Are you paranoid about your own thoughts? It's those who act paranoid who draw attention. If you stand by your convictions, no matter how controversial they may seem, you will never draw attention to yourself. Confident people have nothing to hide. It's the paranoid individuals who are labeled as crazies, and they are the ones who get a bad rep, and will be ostracized from society by the media. |

Here's the danger of labeling someone crazy, it is all based on arbitrary notions. Crazy to me, may be normal to you, and vice versa. You can label evil easily, because most people can agree on what is evil, and what is good. But the majority cannot agree on what is "crazy", or what is "normal". |

Just saying I found the best way to police what people do online was create a social network... put some tool in "charge" with a catchy sounding name... people flocked it to... happily gave up their privacy, locations and reveled everything about themselves... where they are at... what annoying fucking thing they are doing... then they will upload 10,000 pictures showing us what they looked like while doing it... They will brain wash each other with their own sheep bah bah ramblings... all around make our jobs that much easier... We don't have to do much any more... people just get online and spout out their ideas and plans for us to read and discriminate on... hell we don't even need to build a case file... we just use their profile for that... Yep I got a big promotion at the NSA for that idea... Although they didnt approve of my name for it... and made slight adjustments...

| Indygo User ID: 23410866 United States01/30/2013 08:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The question is... who is going to be defining evil..? Evil is as evil does..? Evil is as evil thinks..? Evil is predefined by "the source" as we presently know it. Divine law currently defines duality as positive and negative - and neither can exist without the other. This is common knowledge as per yin-yang, light-dark, above-below, good-evil, etc. The GLP hive-mind knows this well. Does a battery work without both terminals - positive and negative, red and black? Does this website function without satanists? This means it is true that evil does as evil will do. But as above, so below, positive forces will do as they do too! Thus, in the grand scheme, your humanoid brain, your mind, your soul, has the free will to decide on which path to take. So my suggestion, as the Google proclaims, do not be evil! No matter what you search, whether with Google, Bing, or an "anonymous" search engine - keep in mind - you are ALWAYS being watched and processed. There is no reason then to be paranoid if you do no evil, correct? Google represents an element of the technological singularity - the mediator between good and evil dualities. Google also makes use of highly complex algorithms to always identify who YOU are, based on IP address, cookies, search patterns, youtube views, and nearly every website you visit (Google Analytics). Do you KNOW about what Google Analytics is? Many websites, GLP included have embedded javascript code linked to Google, among various other trackers and advertising agencies. In other words, without even using the search engine, they KNOW about your browsing habits. Every thread you visit on GLP is tagged with your unique identity signature, and recorded via Google Analytics. Did you know this? Unless you use Tor, or javascript blocking software, they KNOW your browsing habits - it is stored in a massive database! Surprise! Now the big question - are the evil powers that control this world also being tagged by Google? - IndygoGh0st |
