Justice Dept. Rejects Google's Privacy Concerns

Philip K Dickhead writes "The Associated Press is reporting that the Justice Department rejected Google's concerns over a Bush administration demand to examine millions of its users' Internet search requests on privacy grounds. The department claims this will help revive an online child protection law that the Supreme Court has blocked, by proving that Internet filters are not strong enough to prevent children from viewing pornography online. A federal court hearing is scheduled in San Jose, California, March 13th."

Re:Google Gives US The Finger, But Gives Head To P

[ultranova]

Funny how Google gives the US government the finger, yet is down on it's knees for the Chinese Government.

Because even a heartless, soulless, lifeless legalistic construct like a corporation, shambling onwards by the power of pure undiluted greed of human heart and indulging the darkest desires of those same hearts just to satisfy its endless hunger for profits, chewing up its employees and then spitting them out when they have nothing left to give, and feeding babies poisoned milk substitute to grow fat on their mothers suffering, was once born from a human beings mind. Even an abomination like the corporation has its roots in human existence, and as such there is a limit on how low it might sink, hard as that might be to believe; and serving George W. Bush and the United States of America is too much for even the nonexistent morals of the twisted horror that is the corporation. They served Hitler, and they serve China, but serving Bush is abhorrent, even for these Lovecraftian horrors whose uncountable slimy tentacles are even now twisting around the world and spoiling everything they touch.

So, will I get more flamebait or troll mods ?-) And, if you mod me up... I'll be scared ;).

Really? Why don't you point out a policy of Bush's that HAS benefited the United States. I wasn't aware that there was one -- maybe I wasn't paying attention to the news that day?

Yeah?
