Before it explodes quoting from the post: "It's important to remember that no one else can see your Activity Log, including your search activity"

My hart skipped a beat when I read the title. I hope people will read the whole article or at least your quote before going all termo nuclear.

FWIW I've flagged this, as it's really now HN worthy IMO or at the very least shouldn't have a sensational/link bating title like this.

It's also important to note that "no one else" includes your friends, coworkers, family and partners - if you save passwords in the browser or forget to log out of Facebook on a computer they can access.

It is obvious that Facebook has this data, Google has your search history, a telecom has your call logs, and an ISP might have your web browsing history. However, even making it available to the user themselves opens them up for accidental or socially pressured privacy invasion.

And that there (probably) already was an internal log of your search history.
