If you do not suffer from paranoia - this does not mean that Google does not follow you ...
The offended former employee of Alpha Computer Service was accused of hacking after Google’s search queries revealed that he was trying to search the network for technical information on how to hack the company's systems.
Matthew Schuster previously worked in support services for the CWWIS home wireless network system from Alpha Computer Service .
Being fired, he used client information to gain free access to the company's wireless network.
The use of Google services became a fatal mistake for Schuster, since the contents of his search interrogations were recorded by Google Search, and later transferred to the police. Schuster searched Google for information like "how to broadcast interference over wifi 2.4 GHZ", "wireless networks 2.4 interference" and "interference over wifi 2.4 GHZ”, which were used in court as the main evidence of his guilt. As a result, Schuster was sentenced to 15 months in prison and a $ 20,000 fine.
The question remains, how was it proved that Schuster performed the requests? Most likely, either Google registers the IP addresses of users who entered the search query, or registers search queries of users who have registered with various Google services.

This is not the first case of covert surveillance of users, and the transfer of information about individual citizens to the authorities, by Google . In 2005, a resident of the United States was convicted of murdering his wife, who had previously searched Google for information on the words “neck”, “snap”, “break” and “hold”.
- you say. But come to your senses !, Russia, it seems the country is also not an ideal democracy ... And who knows what information other search engines, including ours, keep? ..
