Is Search Privacy an Issue?

May 25, 2003

Should we be concerned that when we search Google or other search engines our search queries are being recorded and/or sold? Search queries can reveal many things about a person from their personal interests to their ailments and concerns. However, search expert Danny Sullivan, says not to worry.

Still, others worry that there could indeed be some major privacy issues here -- especially if a big search engine ends up being owned by a company that is also an ISP.
