- 0des 5y agoWhat's this useful for anyway, just curious? I don't see usernames but I do so that some people had some entries redacted somehow
- derevaunseraun 5y agoIt isn't lol. AOL just released search records and didn't initially redact all identifying information in the searches. They obviously got sued Ig it's useful from an aesthetic standpoint: we all get to see the raw, unfiltered stuff people typed into a search bar at one point. But something that would be interesting: what if this was the norm, and everything anyone ever types was public domain? Imagine if this just suddenly happened. I don't think we as a society would be able to handle it, we'd probably just try to cover it up.
