Nafeez's Google History lacks US Customs & Secret Service Re Nafeez's convoluted Google history that neglects to mention altavista et al were seized by us customs and us secret service, held by marshalls until transfer to DHS. You neglect one of the most important historical factors that merged the commercial civil indexing systems with other monitoring: altavista (and others) was seized by US Customs for illegal export and laundering of stolen copywrite content with US Secret Service for computer crimes. Result was bot indexing rules and Yahoo. ALL of the large search systems are state managed.
