Q: Does that mean Google has the technical ability to link a person's searches together and divulge them when legally required? Yes. Google says in its FAQ that it records Internet address, date, time, browser type, operating system and a cookie ID. Author and entrepreneur John Battelle received word from Google this week that the company can perform two important types of matches. (We confirmed this with Google and followed up with additional questions.) First, given a number of search terms, Google can produce a list of people (identified by Internet address or cookie) who searched for a given term. Second, given a collection of Internet addresses, Google can produce a list of the terms searched by the user of a given address. That effectively creates an electronic dossier of an individual. Q: What about other search engines? We surveyed AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo as well. Microsoft and Yahoo gave us the same response as Google did." Google, the courts and you |
