The searches themselves, already provided by Google, combined with actually continuing to some of the results, also logged by Google, are already incriminating enough. The only thing you could claim is that ISP traffic logs couldn't and wouldn't make a difference between you and Chrome loading pages, but that didn't even come into play in the case you quote.
- pasbesoin 15y agoAs per recent news (amongst other things), links/linking are in the process of being criminalized in some contexts. Do you want to hit a page containing a link and become "guilty" for using/following that link, without ever clicking on it? It may seem far-fetched at the moment, but I'm reminded of that East Coast teacher who was fired because the classroom computer was infected (apparently, not by her actions) and started popping porn up on the screen. Common sense quickly demonstrated that she was not, in any personal sense, at fault. Still lost her job; was, IIRC correctly, at least considered for criminal prosecution, and had to spend months and probably lots of lawyer fees attempting to clear her name. I am mindful to be very cautious about assuming a limit to the stupidity or maliciousness of people who will be making assumptions -- or, regardless of their own understanding of a situation, simply have an agenda to push -- in the future.
