Bloke 'lobbed molotov cocktails' at Street View car because Google was 'watching him' A man arrested for setting fire to one of Google's Street View cars has told the authorities he feared the company was watching him. Raul Diaz, 30, of Oakland, was arrested on Thursday outside Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California, after his car was flagged by security as similar to one that had been seen at three …
All you have to know about Google and privacy is how outright hostile towards tor traffic they are (give us your ip or endless captcha 4 joo). Granted they are not the only ones but luckily there are exceptions and alternatives. Duckduckgo, for example, even has their own onion address.
Yep which is why the poster above you is getting the downvotes. Anyone who has used duckduckgo knows its darn useful 90% of the time or so but you will still need to keep a non tor browser for occasionally using Google. Google getting my info (other than perhaps search query itself and even that is unlikely) while I am using duckduckgo onion's address is pretty far down my list of worries. Also the reason you didn't get the local results you wanted is probably because duckduckgo is not using geolocation information (or if through tor would be of exit relay). Half of why Google is so accurate is because they know exactly who you are, where you are, what you are doing, who you are meeting, etc especially if you willingly login into their spyware with all your devices.
told the authorities he feared the company was watching him.
Well.. they are. And not just him. We're all being watched and not just by Google. Seems every one, companies and TLA's have their collective ears to the pipes.
I guess I should add that except for the TLA's who just want to watch all of us, everyone else is not just watching but selling us, also.
I can absolutely see his point, but can't really approve of his methods. But then what can you do? The law is no good because Google et.al. buys laws, with enough cash left over to bury you in legal bullshit for the next millennium or two.
You can't opt out. You can't control what's harvested...Google say you can; but that requires a Google account; coughing up a phone number (which entirely nullifies the point); and trusting that Google will do as they say. Which I don't..

Can't find Sundar's actual address, though. Might be the house featured in this vid
Can you see Larry Page, Sergey Brin & Sundar Pichai's front doors on GOOGLE Street Snoop?
One of the things about Google that really annoys me is that there is an image of my front door on their system. What's annoying about that is that in order to get the image (and all of the images of my garden, land, car and other possessions) is that they drove a mile down a private road which is marked "Private Road, No public access" in three places. Of course Google refuse to remove these images from StreetView and have the attitude "Our lawyers are bigger than your lawyers."
Squirt Gun and a failed Molotov.
Muppet. Product of modern education which censors both Chemistry and History.
He did not even know how to do a Molotov properly. A well done Molotov if it breaks stays there and burns in place - it does not just flow over the target without causing any major damage.
Now, how to achieve that is another matter. The methodology has changed over the years with the originals using a different one from the one used in WW2 by the resistances around Europe fighting against Germans and changed once more after as a result of observing what US did in Vietnam.
All of those are described in a good History (and Chemistry) books. The uncensored ones (rather difficult to find them in the UK due to thought crime restrictions).

Didn't take me long to find them and I'm in the UK. Google is your friend
I say that, I didn't actually open them, just kind of remembered what to search for (see icon) and the results list looked promising.

You're history is a bit sh*t as well. Molotov cocktails were used by the Finns and later by the Germans to fight older Soviet tanks that had large air intakes on the back of the hull. The Finns named them in a sardonic reference to Stalin's bullet headed foreign minister. German tanks and later Soviet ones were not vulnerable to incendiary devices.
The early history was IMHO correctly described by Kmiettinen. In 1968, when students and laborers almost toppled the French government, an improved version was developed by adding a layer of suphuric acid to attack priceless marble. Finally there is supposed to be feminist Molotov cocktail where the glass bottle is replaced by a cola-can which makes it almost harmless.

I was beginning to worry that guys carried full Molotovs around just in case then realized he had a thing about Google. The fine and prison sentence seem fine if one considers that it was a good thing he was Hispanic otherwise his eventual apprehenders may have shot him dead.
By the way, how was the pictured vehicle damaged?
