    WWW Clear your Google History

    Hey everyone...I am sure that most, if not all, of you know by now that staring March 1st Googles new "Privacy" policy goes into effect. So, if you want to keep your Search History from linking to all of your other Google accounts, you may want to clear said Search History. This link: http://www.webpronews.com/dont-let-g...ch-1st-2012-02 will tell you how to do so. Good luck!

    I think its a myth. Google still saves all your web history regardless, and will be turned over to authorities or the FBI or whomever if they request it. ...Even if you choose to opt out of them "saving" it.

    "One last but very important note: Gizmodo says that this still doesn’t prevent Google from gathering and using your information for internal purposes, nor does it prevent Google from handing it over to law enforcement should it be requested. Nonetheless, assuming you’re not a fugitive from justice, these steps will at least keep Google from inadvertently exposing your search history through your Google accounts. The last thing you want is for your innocent image search for “ultimate nudity” to end up populating your Google Accounts for all to see."

    I am not trying to scare anyone here! Sorry if it came off that way.
    I just thought that, as cam girls, most of us probably do a fair amount of searches that involve adult-themed topics. Since a lot of us probably have youtube accounts, use Gmail, use Apps from Google, that some of us might want to do this, as your search history will now be linked to these other accounts.
    This is the actual privacy policy as put out by Google:
    http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/
    Anyway, I really did not mean to make anyone think that this was something to be incredibly concerned about or anything. Just something to maybe be proactive about.

    When I tried to clear mine, I was confused because my screen didn't look like the examples I saw in different sites' directions.

    I went to to google.com/history while signed in. The next thing I'm supposed to do is click Remove all web history. When I'm there, I don't see the Remove all web history button. Instead I have two other buttons: "no thanks" and "turn web history on."

    Does this mean I turned off the history option a while ago?
