Bush demands access to Google Search records |
From Mercury News, 1/19/06:

Feds after Google data
By Howard Mintz Mercury News
The Bush administration on Wednesday asked a federal judge to order
Google to turn over a broad range of material from its closely guarded
databases.
The move is part of a government effort to revive an Internet child
protection law struck down two years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The law was meant to punish online pornography sites that make their
content accessible to minors.
The government contends it needs the Google data to determine how
often pornography shows up in online searches.
In court papers filed in U.S. District Court in San Jose, Justice
Department lawyers revealed that Google has refused to comply with a
subpoena issued last year for the records, which include a request for
1 million random Web addresses and records of all Google searches from
any one-week period.
The Mountain View-based search and advertising giant opposes releasing
the information on a variety of grounds, saying it would violate the
privacy rights of its users and reveal company trade secrets,
according to court documents.
Nicole Wong, an associate general counsel for Google, said the company
will fight the government's effort ``vigorously.''
``Google is not a party to this lawsuit, and the demand for the
information is overreaching,'' Wong said.
The case worries privacy advocates, given the vast amount of
information Google and other search engines know about their users.
``This is exactly the kind of case that privacy advocates have long
feared,'' said Ray Everett-Church, a South Bay privacy consultant.
``The idea that these massive databases are being thrown open to
anyone with a court document is the worst-case scenario. If they lose
this fight, consumers will think twice about letting Google deep into
their lives.''
Everett-Church, who has consulted with Internet companies facing
subpoenas, said Google could argue that releasing the information
causes undue harm to its users' privacy.
``The government can't even claim that it's for national security,''
Everett-Church said.
``They're just using it to get the search engines to do their research
for them in a way that compromises the civil liberties of other
people.''

Stating it would violate privacy rights is bogus. Google can comply without
compromising anyones privacy rights. As to googles trade secrets? Yup,
that's where Google's real concern resides.

Well, that's what they SAY they want the information for. Probably so they
can get the sheeple to go along with them. But once they have the info, I'm
sure there's lots of other interesting things they could look at.

Which is a lie. All they have to do is do some searches.
They probably have a stock scam working with Microsoft based on the
government destroying Google. Just like the Amiga.
