Apparently Google ran a model last year for the CDC with regard to flu hot spots. Google tracked searches by individuals (you and I) using words that related to the flu. Their model was so close to the CDC’s own statistical model of 2007 flu outbreaks that the CDC will be utilizing Google this year to try to get a jump on flu outbreaks.

So, now Google is tracking for the government, huge Obama supporters with a contract to track individual searches.

What else is Google “tracking” for the government? No, I don't trust Google.

Yikes. There is a battle for information flow in this country and in the world, and we freepers are barely even aware of it.
