U.S. Government Wants Google Search Records
JimBridgerBowl writes "According to the San Jose Mercury News, The Bush administration wants access to Google's huge database of search queries submitted by users to track how often pornography is returned in results. This information would be used for Bush's appeal of the 2004 COPA law, targeted to prevent access to pornography by children. The law was struck down because it would have restricted adults access to legal pornography. Google is promising to fight the release of this information." From the article: "The Supreme Court invited the government to either come up with a less drastic version of the law or go to trial to prove that the statute does not violate the First Amendment and is the only viable way to combat child porn. As a result, government lawyers said in court papers they are developing a defense of the 1998 law based on the argument that it is far more effective than software filters in protecting children from porn."
The solution is obvious! Let's all submit pornographic requests to Google.
I guess bush really wants to know how many people are looking for 'Miserable failure' on google.

He can't even figure out by himself what to search for???
It's 'cause you searched for "pornography" instead of "Teenaged Tit Freaks"...jeez, man, that's like a basic internet skill.
ad logicam Claiming a proposition is false because it was presented as the conclusion of a fallacious argument.
Don't worry, the NSA has a full profile on you to cross-reference.

Well, not if the president orders it, dummy. Thank God we here in the U.S. has a leader with the courage to come out and say "I am above the law as long as this war, which will never end, goes on."
I only wish he would take the next logical step and declare that presidential elections in a time of war could make us vunerable, and therefore they must be indefinitely suspended until we defeat terrorism.

That's the sort of naive, pre-September 11 talk that got three thousand American citizens killed. While you sniveling liberals are sitting up in your ivory towers, making all your pointless, academic distinctions, George Bush is plowing straight ahead, protecting our lives and our freedoms from pornographers and terrorists. This is why the reality-based community will never win; too much thinking, not enough doing.
You want the truthiness? You can't handle the truthiness!
