Abstract
The Gonzales v. Google case and the AOL privacy debacle were not isolated or exceptional occurrences. They are but the tip of the jceberg of an emerging privacy problem on a grand scale, featuring Internet search engines as informational gat<*eepers harboring previously unimaginable riches of personally identifiable information. Billions of search queries stream across Google's servers each month, "the aggregate thoughtstream of humankind, online. Users may stomach such use of their personally identifiable information as part of their transaction with a company that offers an amazing service for no apparent cost. Yet they are less inclined to appreciate the sharing of their data with third parties, be they commercial, governmental, or, of course, criminal.
