If you are like me and use Google all the day (without giving much thought to the fact that you are logged in, e.g. via gmail), it can be pretty scary to take a look at https://www.google.com/history/

Total Google searches: 21717

None of these searches are in the categories you mention, but I bet you can still make up some interesting statistics about me.

So why not just disable web history?

... and why would making up some statistics about you be scary? They might be able to show you relevant advertising???? OH NOES!

Our research shows that all child molesters search for these 7 items. We randomly selected you for a quick search of your 20k search terms and found all 7 (separated by years but we decided that was irrelevant).

Since we have a "zero tolerance" policy when it comes to child molesters ("zero tolerance" meaning "guilty until proved innocent") we are accusing you of this crime (and telling your workplace and all of your acquaintances).

You may now use whatever meager life-savings you might have to defend yourself against these charges. This should not take long as you are also now friendless and out of work.

Have a nice day.
