Google the way it ought to be

Sullivan asked Schmidt why Google does not purge its users' data from its computers every month or two to guard against building up too much history of any Web user's search habits.

"We have actually had that debate," Schmidt said, adding that security protections Google has put in place would make it very difficult, if not impossible, to steal customer data. He said keeping users' trust was Google 's most essential mission.

decided against it so the government can have
some more data when they want it otherwise the
Dull Sparks at Google would delete the data.

Now try Scroogle Scraper: Google the way it used
to be: without ads, sponsored links, cookies.
They say their access log is deleted within 48 hours.
