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.
