http://Ixquick.com - That's right.
You heard it first from me!
"Be careful what you key into your search engine. It's all being recorded: every cough, every sneeze, every word. We need to start demanding that this information be made private."
This is what I heard early this morning on George Noory's Coast-to-Coast show (http://www.coasttocoastam.com - do yourself a favour and check it out), CKTB Radio 610, St. Catharines, or 640 Toronto, an alternate source of information that regular news providers don't give us. I've been listening to this show, originally hosted by Art Bell, controversial radio figure now retired, for at least ten years now, and have learned so much.
I didn't catch the lady's last name, but Catherine was talking about how our privacy is being eroded through the Internet, closed circuit television and microchip implants (that cause tumours and cancer in animals) to track our activities.
She strongly recommends that you use http://ixquick.com, a Dutch metasearch engine, which is the only one that promises not to record what you're searching. Leave it to the Dutch, those progressive people, to invent something that protects privacy and human rights.
I'll have to be sure to introduce this to the students at Langstaff and spread the word among my colleagues, even today at the Ontario Library Association's Superconference. More on that in my next post.
P.S. It's really Thursday morning, Toronto time. I don't know why this is still showing Wednesday.
