DoJ search requests: Yahoo, AOL, MSN said "Yes"

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the skipping-the-wiretap dept.

d2viant writes "Elaborating on a previous article on Slashdot, it appears that the search engines which complied for Department of Justice requests for logs were apparently AOL, MSN, and Yahoo. According to the article, Justice is not requesting this data in the course of a criminal investigation, but in order to defend its argument that the Child Online Protection Act is constitutionally sound."
