Patriot Search Helps Government Collect Search Data
A spoof search engine called Patriot Search (thx Napsterization) has been set up to help the government collect data while people surf.
Our mission is to provide the best possible search engine to you while at the same time, making sure the government is informed should you search for something obscure, illegal, or unpatriotic.People's keyword search privacy has come into question as the Federal government has been sending subpoenas to the major search engines including Google. So far Google has refused to comply with the requests. More Google subpoena humor can be found here.
Instead of letting the government waste tax money by going through complicated procedures to get user and search data from Yahoo, MSN, Ask Jeeves or Google, users of Patriot Search make sure their queries end up right where they belong – in the databases of the government and its various agencies.
