I guess I'm a) a bit paranoid and b) not entirely sure what's being passed on to the government and how. My husband says it's just statistics, not individual ISP's and searching habits.
Statistics wouldn't bother me a bit.
Targetted results not *as* much, although to me it sets a very bad precedent. I'd rather see a law passed by Congress that delineates exactly what information and under what circumstances google can turn over personal information to the government. Set in place a way to protect privacy rights. I don't like the idea of the government just being able to ask for things without clearcut information being available to the people as to what the government might end up with its hands on.
