I think we have way worse things to worry about our governments than censorship of Google results.

Whereas personal privacy is an actual, very real problem for people.

You think it might apply 'only' to google, but a smart lawyer can make it apply anywhere.

Think of software patents or the DCMA. Sounds nice in theory, a terror in practice. Any tool exposed free to use for the public, including some very wealthy sociopaths, will be abused.
