In a nutshell Google is going to block search term data for
SEO people and webmasters when the person doing the search is logged into their Google account.
It is seen as a very suspicious move.

I did write a comment on that blog:-

It’s only search term data not your personal details so why hide it? So Google is building an inventory of search data that it will keep for itself and others in the dark. I can only think that they will profit from it, and it will keep everyone suspicious as to the authenticity of SERPs. Will we simply be sheep dished up what some monopolistic corporation wants us to swallow? Transparency removes suspicion.
Perhaps down the track it will be sold to webmasters or SEO people, you want to get the search term data you pay for it.
Evolution pushes sound small enterprises into large greedy corporations, this is a dangerous move. Perhaps in 10 years time millions of websites will not even rank as the largest search engines only ranks those who pay and the users have no idea they are served up inferior results.
Who remembers the early days> There was ads showing small businesses and people selling via Google Adwords for 0.05cents etc. It was hailed as the new frontier to give the small business a go …. not anymore. So now Google is perhaps getting greased up too well by the fortune 500′s? Large corporations with huge budgets for advertising and media campaigns.
Social media is a minefield and has it’s own risks, called trolls.
