Super Injunctions and Deep Searching Software

I have written software that in the past has been used to deep search the Internet.  I did it when a company asked me if I could help trace anybody stealing their IPR.  I didn’t find anything at all and in that case that was a good result, as it meant there had been no theft.

However software like that could be easily written to deep search the Internet for relationships that shouldn’t be happening.  Let’s say two well-known Premiership managers decided to have a good lunch together after the season in a good restaurant. As well they might! Someone might see them and put the story in a blog or tweet and unless someone else was searching for it deliberately it wouldn’t be found.  But the deep search software would find it, if it was properly set up, say with a database of the names of all Premiership managers and footballers.

So just as Google tracks the links with its search terms, other software can be written to find relationships.

So celebrities had better be even more careful.
