"What makes it special is the toggle switch that allows you to view points of light representing real time searches rising from the surface of the globe toward space, color coded by language."
Yeah, I've heard of that visualization before (I would love to see it in person). What that does is show points on the globe where search queries originate from, it doesnt show the textual contents of those searches. If we did something like that, we wouldn't need to worry about the dirty and inappropriate things that people were searching for.
