Written by The Justice Department is after Google search data in order to resucitate an online anti-porn law which died at the hands of the Constitution. Google is resisting. However, it’s entirely possible that Google will either lose in court, or change its mind and turn over the data the government is seeking. With that in mind, I’ve written a Greasmonkey script (Greasemonkey is a Firefox extention which does cool things), which will automatically submit “bonus” google queries every time you visit a regular google page. It will transparently launch searches behind the scenes in Firefox (without bothering the user) to help ensure that the DoJ has some good evidence about online porn searches if and when it ever does get Google’s data.
(NB. You might not want to run this script at work if your workplace implements porn-monitoring)
Right now, the script only has three searches programmed, but it’s very easy to add more. Suggestions welcome.
