That One Time I Googled 'I Box Mexicans for Peanuts'

Researchers at AOL recently published the search data of more than 650,000 AOL users. The New York Times was able to do a little bit of investigative reporting (I know! right?) and determine that AOL User No. 4417749 was 62-year-old Thelma Arnold. Aside from the obvious privacy catastrophe, the actual data is fascinating. The most depressing is probably AOL User No. 672368, whose searches over several weeks go something like this:

you're pregnant he doesn't want the baby

foods to eat when pregnant

abortion clinics charlotte nc

can christians be forgiven for abortion


Tell me about it, AOL User No. 672368.
