hey, guys, chill out. He's not saying that you shouldn't do anything you don't want the public to know or anything like that. Google is actually protecting your privacy from the public. Your search history is not available to anyone except for the law-enforcement with a subpoena. He is only saying that under some circumstances Google has to release some information according to the current law. And if you don't want this happening, you should't have this information on Google in the first place.

For example if you plan to murder someone you better not google for "how to hide a corpse" :)

On a related note, if you plan to murder someone, you should not post an HN comment suggesting what not to google for when planning a murder.
