I too have learned not to believe in government solutions to problems.

As a result I stopped searching for... Well unfortunately I'm one of those, "nothing to hide" people.

Life as usual.

If I needed to use google without anyone knowing, either use a public computer, or a stack of layers to remove IP, browser id, cookies, etc... Unique URLs would not trace far.

Just for the record, google is not in compliance. The law is not a switch statement where you just need to find that magic missing “break” and then the system is pwned. Justice is not a mathematical equation.

Sure and as a result, I cannot trust them to do their job.

Historically they suck.
