Hi - I've managed to still get to it. Here is the text - its a good thing
to action asap!

With just a week to go before Google changes to its new privacy policy that
allows it to gather, store and use personal information, users have a last
chance to delete their Google Browsing History, along with any damning
information therein.
Tech News Daily
<http://www.technewsdaily.com/3850-remove-google-browsing-history-late.html>reports
that once Google's new unified privacy policy takes effect all data already
collected about you, including search queries, sites visited, age, gender
and location will be gathered and assigned to your online identity
represented by your Gmail and YouTube accounts. After the policy takes
effect you are not allowed to opt out without abandoning Google altogether.
But now before the policy takes effect, you have the option of deleting
your Google Web History by modifying your settings so that Google is unable
to associate data collected about you with your Gmail or YouTube accounts.
Tech News Daily reports that Electronic Frontier Foundation
(EFF)<https://www.eff.org/>,
a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco that advocates for online
privacy, says: "Search data can reveal particularly sensitive information
about you, including facts about your location, interests, age, sexual
orientation, religion, health concerns, and more."
EFF advises all Google users to delete their web history.
Meanwhile, Center for Digital Democracy <http://www.democraticmedia.org/>has
filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, asking the Commission
to sue Google to stop the policy change. Tech News Daily
<http://www.technewsdaily.com/3850-remove-google-browsing-history-late.html>reports
FTC can impose fines up to $16,000 per day for violation.
Daily Mail <http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2105435/Three-simple-steps-delete-Google-browsing-history--late.html>reports
that deleting your browsing history before March 1 when Google's new
privacy policy comes into effect will limit Google's ability to track and
record your every move online. The process is simple. Follow the steps
below:
1. Go to the google homepage and sign into your account.
2. Click the dropdown menu next to your name in the upper-right hand corner
of your screen.
3. Click accounts settings
4. Find the "Services section"
5. Under "Services" there is a sub-section that reads "View, enable,
disable web history." Click the link next to it that reads: "Go to Web
History."
6. Click on "Remove all Web History"
When you click on "Remove all Web History," a message appears that says "
Web History is Paused." What this means is that while Google will continue
gathering and storing information about your web history it will make
*all* data
anonymous, that is, Google will not associate your Web History information
with your online accounts and will therefore be unable to send you
customized search results.
Google's ability to gather personalized information about you by assigning
data to your Gmail and YouTube accounts will remain "Paused" till you click
"Resume."

Maybe they're getting high traffic because you're the second person who
has had this problem. However, I'm able to get to the article from the
link I provided ( http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/320137 ). In
case others have the same problem, here are the instructions on how to
do it:

...deleting your browsing history before March 1 when Google's new
privacy policy comes into effect will limit Google's ability to track
and record your every move online. The process is simple. Follow the
steps below:
1. Go to the google homepage and sign into your account.
2. Click the dropdown menu next to your name in the upper-right hand
corner of your screen.
3. Click accounts settings
4. Find the "Services section"
5. Under "Services" there is a sub-section that reads "View, enable,
disable web history." Click the link next to it that reads: "Go to Web
History."
6. Click on "Remove all Web History"
When you click on "Remove all Web History," a message appears that says
" Web History is Paused." What this means is that while Google will
continue gathering and storing information about your web history it
will make all data anonymous, that is, Google will not associate your
Web History information with your online accounts and will therefore be
unable to send you customized search results.

assigning data to your Gmail and YouTube accounts will remain "Paused"
till you click "Resume."
