    I don’t really know how the internet works, but would Google be able to figure out which user might have searched for the 10 addresses to which the mail bombs were sent?

        How detailed an answer do you want? (Short answer: it’s possible to implement, unlikely they track this in a form that they can just pull it up, the user likely was not logged in so probably not in their history, and tech cos are too willing to surrender info without a warrant.)

        Can the Clintons, Obamas, and the other bomb victims take Trump to court for provoking this violence against them? Can they take any kind of legal action?

        Sure. And set a precedent for law enforcement or a company to violate privacy whenever they want.

        I think we have to protect that person’s privacy cuz if we don’t then we have to undermine everyone else’s. (Yeah...I’m being sarcastic since I think it’s bs that we can’t...)

        That's moreabout how Google works than about how the Internet works -- specifically, whether they have peoples' search histories indexed so that they can identify which users searched for a particular address. If the indexes are there, it's easy; if not, building them is hard.

        Yes. Probably not that many people would search for all 10 of those addresses in a small time frame which would help narrow it down. User was probably not logged in but there are other ways to figure out who it is. It's tricky to be completely anonymous on internet.

        1. Why would they? (most important) 2. You can do google search without being a Google user 3) There can be thousands of queries for that address per day or even per minute from unique users - which means to share data of thousands of people directly violating the policy.

        No one uses From: and To: in modern American postal vernacular anymore. Mailed from the weird state of Florids and typed in the dorkiest of all fonts in the most unflattering of weights. Something is sooooo fishy

        They probably could, but is that what we want? Do we want to allow @Google to use specific info of each user at will?

        Easy pattern recognition. If we had a functioning government they also might be able to do this. But, we don’t.
