Google searches prove that every computer is monitored by the federal government.

Just got a new computer where Google is driving me nuts.You can't even type in two or three letters without the search engine blocking out your typed in letters replacing it with their's assuming it knows what you are searching for.

Then it somehow localizes your searches where it zeroes in practically on your neighborhood.

Welcome to the year 2011. Ever use google before? Ever hear of an IP address before? No, you paranoid dumbass, big brother is not sitting around watching u surf porn sites all day. But the fact that the technology is in place for them to monitor u if they wanted to is hardly news.

Take the tinfoil hat off already and stop being the crazy old man nobody listens to

If you're so worried about your privacy spend some dough and use a vpn.

I could care less if the govt sees my search habits.

[FuzzyDunlop]

I've worked in Digital Forensics for the last 8 years, Google isn't giving the government any information on individual searches without a subpoena. First, they would be liable if found otherwise, second, users are much more profitable to be marketed to than to be tattled on.

Id be.more worried about facebook rather then google if I were you

Oh sweet Jesus.

But the funniest thing is they pursuaded Google to redirect to their website about Internet Fraud when you try to get archived SBR forum pages. Google this: cache:http://forum.sbrforum.com/players-ta...overnment.html

yeah seriously i was going to type the same thing.
if you really want to see this prove, download a block my ip service and switch the service to texas or anther country, and if you type in yahoo.com it will direct you to the yahoo uk site, same with amazon ect. ect.

but again, conspiracy theroiest are going to believe what they want no matter how much scientific evidence is in front of them, so its just best to ignore them.

you hit the little gear button in the corner of the google screen, and then you will see a choice called "search settings". you hit that and look for the choice where it doesn't assume things for you, it's called automatic google instant. you check that box.
