I want large parts of my search history to remain confidential. I am aware that there is a risk this information could be made publicly available at some stage in the future, with or without my consent. I could go to great lengths to remain anonymous on the Internet using Tors, proxies and freenet but that is too much work so I accept the risk of disclosure in return for the convenience of having so much indexed information that is always available for me to search and use.

I am not afraid to have all my past searches aired in public. However, it seems like it would be none of anyone's business what I'm searching for on the Internet. Ya know? I want more freedom, fewer restrictions, and less surveillance from my government. I think the Patriot Act is un-American and a threat to the People. This is a good move by Google, a good company.
