I personally think the only reason they're considering getting rid of this patent is, it could hold back corporations from shoving advertisements down your throat, which is something they really want to do. If the only people interested in this were millions of hardworking American citizens, nothing would be done about it.

Just for the record, Slashdot mods people to -1, effectively "blocking" them, for posting pictures of "goatse". The United States not only blocks but arrests people for naked pictures of children. Do you think any of that makes headlines in Pakistan? People, who have the ability, are going to block things they find offensive. And pointing out that they are blocking something you don't find offensive doesn't make you better than them.

On Facebook, people actually specify what they're interested in though. Even so much as to say they "Like" Oreo cookies, Dr. Pepper, Vampire Diaries, Exercise, and whatever else. That might be more specific than assuming somebody likes Oreo cookies because they searched for Oreo. They might be searching because they have no idea what it is, or wonder why somebody would call a person that. Also, Google apparently places AdSense advertisements on webpages where people aren't necessarily looking for the product in the advertisement.
