Yes, whenever the government starts keeping lists, everyone should be concerned. It's not just search engine data activity. The government has been expanding their power to collect information on medical, credit, phone, and email records.
Public exposure of the records is only one concern.
Just because you think you can trust who is in power today, doesn't mean you can trust who will be in power tomorrow. If a more oppressive government were to take power, analyzing all the collected information could easily reveal who will likely be a threat to their regime and who will be the sheep.
Reading some of these responses, it's sad how many people don't understand the concept of the 4th Amendment and the dangers of toying with it. It seems like the American public see their government as a child/adult relationship. When the people forget that they are the government is when they lose it.

Why are you bothered approximately this? Google handles between one hundred-2 hundred million seek queries daily - do you extremely think of out of the hundreds of thousands of consumers they have, they're going to shop information with regards to your guy or woman conduct? And so what in the event that they do? Do you think of that they are going to inform somebody or act upon issues they locate out approximately you? My advice is to no be too in touch approximately it - you're being some distance too parinoid! even in spite of the shown fact that, in case you extremely do no longer prefer to apply google, there are a number of different seek engines accessible which comprise: yahoo ask jeeves meta crawler earth hyperlink altavista overtune infoseek dogpile iwon hotbot data area one seek for usa on line aol internet locate nbci msn lycos i'm particular maximum of them do shop non-identifiable information approximately their consumers in spite of the shown fact that!

They've been keeping track of our buying habits for years;
all the 'club specials' at the supermarket. With credit cards. Now they're keeping track of how we think!
What's next? Yes and it should concern all of us!

Not at all. There's so much useless data being collected that no one will ever have the time to peruse it all. (and I wouldn't care even if they did)
