Leak?

[edit]

The title of this article is "AOL search data leak". Both the term "search data" and the term "leak" are not quite right:

  • It was not "search data", which could be many different things, but rather Web search queries in chronological order.
  • It was not "leaked" -- which implies that the data release was unintentional or illicit.

This was an intentional (though misguided) release of search queries. I propose to rename the page to AOL search query log release or AOL query log release. --Macrakis (talk) 21:09, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
