Any idea about, what the blacked words would be?

Names, phone numbers, addresses.

Also "ied package" and "eagle feather" according to the docs (from different cases) linked in https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2021/10/04/googl...

Next up, "winnie the pooh" and "tank man".

> For a legal warrant you have to have probable cause that a specific person committed a crime. You can't just search everybody and see what sticks, that's blatantly unconstitutional. Sure, though it’s worth noting that nothing prohibits the police from walking down the street and asking people. Those people don’t have to talk to the police, but… Google will fight warrants like this. AT&T doesn’t. Other companies hav…

>Google will fight warrants like this. They are already complying. It's right there in the article.

My bad. You're right.

>Or I'll stop calling the police, especially if that first invasive experience doesn't end with my belongings returned. Oh my sweet summer child. Calling the police is never about getting the belongings back. Calling the police is only about striking the perpetrator with violence, hoping that it would equalize the karma levels.

> Calling the police is only about striking the perpetrator with violence, hoping that it would equalize the karma levels. Or, you know, prevent them from doing crimes again.

Rehabilitation is clearly not a high priority in the US Justice system. See: outcomes.

It's a vengeance based system.

> Glock 26 - a ceramic handgun that can't be detected by airport scanners (a reader informs us that the Glock 26 is only partly ceramic, the bullets are metal and is can be detected at airports - so we should really shift this one into the X-file list) They pulled this directly from "Die Hard", the Glock 26 is just a cut-down Glock 19, with a big fat metal slide being integral to the gun's functionality.

... and if I recall, the Die Hard quote was about a "Glock 7", which does not and has never existed.

Correct, the Glock 7 is not a real gun.

This is a wonderful civil disobedience type idea. If our industry had any guts we'd actually do this.

It would have to be popular for the keyword poisoning to work, but it probably won't get popular with a weird name.. "Yeah in my last project I developed a web app based on BinLaden Framework and IsisDB"..

I wonder what is the minimal set of English words covering all search engine users...

I would guess {"google"} would cover almost all users.

Frankly, I'm fed up with all those terrorists trying to break the internet.

Yeah the SCOTUS has basically no legitimacy left at both the federal and state level. States are routinely ignoring Supreme Court rulings and have for years, and federal agencies don’t listen to them either anymore. The rule of law in the US is on life support right now. Another Trump presidency will kick the patient out the window.

We are in another Trump presidency for all practical purposes. Increasing surveillance, rule by executive order, no respect for the press, no transparency, business as usual, threatening other countries. Not much has changed.

Yeah that’s the real bipartisan agenda.

There are so many projects that I think would show up in these searches. Things like “package bomb” when searching for the YouTuber who made glitter and fart bombs into cardboard packages, set them on his porch, and waited for thieves to steal and open them.

>Sure, you'd get pretty mad if every time you get robbed the police searches your vehicle but they don't need to break anything and you will get over it. Or I'll stop calling the police, especially if that first invasive experience doesn't end with my belongings returned.
