Google's Response to the DoJ Motion

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fancy-ways-to-say-no dept.

neoviky writes "Google Inc. on Friday formally rejected the U.S. Justice Department's subpoena of data from the Web search leader, arguing the demand violated the privacy of users' Web searches and its own trade secrets. Responding to a motion by U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Google also said in a filing in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California the government demand to disclose Web search data was impractical."

    arguing the demand violated the privacy of users' Web searches and its own trade secrets.

    They just need to make it clear that it would be a violation of the DMCA for the DoJ to look at this stuff!

    Hmm, I wonder what the government would do if Google gave them the data from the Chinese servers?

    Would China object?
