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."

    ...impracticality is the current administration's way of life. Witness Iraq, the "War on Terra", even the most recent debacle of the Veep's shooting victim apologizing to HIM. Google better play dirty on this one since the current admin and all the neocons play that way.
