3. The Paragraph Google's access to and storage of vast amounts of personal information creates a serious privacy problem, one that Princeton computer scientist Edward Felten recently called "perhaps the most difficult privacy [problem] in all of human history" (The Economist 2007). Every day, millions of users provide Google with unfettered access to their interests, needs, desires, fears, pleasures, and intentions. Users do not realize that this information is logged and maintained in a form which can facilitate their identification. As John Battelle (2005) memorably put it, "[l]ink by link, click by click, search is building possibly the most lasting, ponderous, and significant cultural artifact in the history of humankind: the Database of Intentions." This "Database of Intentions," meaning "[t]he aggregate results of every search ever entered, every result list ever tendered, and every path taken as a result" (Battelle 2005) constitutes a honey pot for various actors. These range from the NSA and FBI, which expend billions of dollars on online surveillance and cannot overlook Google's information treasure trove, to hackers and identity thieves, who routinely overcome even the most robust information security systems.
