Tell Google: Publish all Web Searches originating from The White House
Edited on Sat Jan-28-06 01:36 PM by IanDB1
Here is my letter to Google:

Thank you for taking a stand against government invasions of our privacy.

The Human Rights investigation for your actions in China are nothing more than government retaliation and strong-arm tactics in response to your refusal to bow to the Bush Administration's demands.

May I suggest that Google publish all web searches originating from The White House?

Especially during the week of August 29, 2005, and during the week of September 11, 2001.

To email Google, Go to:

Or:
support@google.com, cindy@google.com, kimberly@google.com, eric@google.com

Google Inc.

Frustrated by search engines that return zillions of irrelevant Web pages? Google (from the term googol, a number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros) offers a targeted search engine that indexes and ranks Web sites according to the number of links leading to that site. The most-used site in the world for Web searches, Google conducts more than 200 million searches a day. Google also licenses its technology to more than 100 companies, including portal giant America Online. (Yahoo! dropped Google in early 2004.) Other Google offerings include a news site (searches 10,000 sources) and shopping site Froogle. Founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page each own 16% of the company.

20. Whoa! Watch your back there, Ian...

You've just made a suggestion bordering on sedition! LOL!

Agent Mike is jumping on your case as we speak, if he wasn't on it before. SG

23. That's because I'm a freedom-hating rejectionist who believes in radical
ideas like "The Constitution" and "Individual Freedom" and "Government Responsibility."

24. Yep, your secret dossier has definitely

moved up to the front of the 'highly-suspect' file. Keep your eye peeled for shadowy, raincoated, newspaper-reading guys on the street corner! SG

6. I really want to see Santorum's searches, but I'm sure he has plenty...
of excuses why he's googling, "Assless leather chaps" all the time in "images" with "safe-search" turned off.

5. My friends who run porn sites...
say that there are LOTS of hits from inside the government firewall, but that you usually cannot pin down where in the government as the NAT redirection prevents that.

11. What about Yahoo
we should ask them to turn over the White House searches, being as they where so free in releasing the White House ours.

15. K&R with some additional suggestions.
I doubt that they'll do it since I think their whole point is that they protect the privacy of their users (and they're correct about that). But it's still fun to speculate.

How about searches originating from the following:

NSA

CIA

RNC

Christian Coalition

Any of the bogus (actually run by insincere right-wingers) Family Network, Voting Rights, Taxpayer Rights, Seniors, etc. types of organizations.

Greenberg, Traurig (Abramoff's former Law Firm)

I'm sure there's lot of others we can think of.

They'll never do this, but it would be wonderful poetic justice.

18. Turn about's fair play--freaking brilliant!

Yeeeeesssss! Put that incredibly powerful engine to even better use.

They should be bombarded with similar letters--let them know that we, the consumers, have got their back if & when they make the move. SG
