This petition has been created to show Google the level of dissatisfaction over their recent changes to keyword referral information, and will be presented to the search quality and analytics teams at Google.
The argument that this has been done for privacy reasons sadly holds little weight, and the move essentially turns the clock back in terms of data transparency.
The argument that this only affects <10% of users is also concerning as this is likely to increase over time, even up to a point where it affects the majority of users being referred from search.

Any one who has been in search, or even knows a small amount of SEO and runs a business needs to know what keywords are converting. Can anyone explain to me why Google would implement such a change?? Also twisting arms to sign up with Google+, allows for higher (not provided) numbers and makes it that much harder to collect our keyword data. I am sure they are still collecting the data it is just not displayed for the public, being us. Reverse the UPDATE!
If it’s about privacy, then how come I can pay and get the same data?
yes I agree with you who can answer that?
I’ve noticed more and more keywords being hidden. looks like they are trying to make more money….
