While stuff like this is funny, it's trivial to filter out extreme "orgy of evidence" or "Christmas tree hits" from data sets.

This would be far more effective if it only picked a couple for each visitor, maybe grouped for likely relevance.

I do think one good approach for defending ourselves from surveillance by state oligarchies is data set pollution, but to be effective it must be done very intelligently. The idea is to make the data set so dirty that any attempt to hunt down political dissidents for, say, targeted IRS audits would generate too many false positives to be practical or effective.

Better still if it also threw in semi-random "safe" search terms to further confuse the issues.

I'm not about to hit that button, but let me know if it works.

If it works, then there'll be nothing on the other end but silence.

Sigh.

How does the saying go again: 'misinformed paranoia travels around the world and spawns parody sites before the truth gets a chance to put its pants on and start individually debunking each reposting' ?
