Before chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, people used to ask Google for answers to every question. This was because Google seemed to have all the answers. Even now, many people still prefer using Google over chatbots. However, it's crucial to be careful about what you search for. Some things you ask Google could land you in trouble, and in the worst-case scenario, even send you to jail. So, today we'll tell you what you shouldn't ask Google.

Information on making weapons

If you search Google for information on making weapons and bombs, you could face serious problems. Such queries can put you on the radar of security agencies. If you repeatedly search for information on making weapons, the police might consider you a threat and take action against you.

Child pornography

Searching for child pornography is a serious crime and is dealt with severely. Under the IT Act 2000 and the POCSO Act, those who search for such content can face imprisonment and heavy fines.

Searching for cybercrime methods

Many people search Google for ways to hack and steal passwords. If you do this, know that it's a violation of the law. If you hack someone to cause harm, you could face legal action. Also, such queries can lead to malware and spyware being installed on your device.

Searching for illegal items

Searching for information on buying drugs, narcotics, and other illegal items can also be costly. If you repeatedly search for such things, you could attract the attention of the police and other agencies, leading to serious trouble.
