Justice Dept. Rejects Google's Privacy Concerns

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday February 27, 2006 @01:16AM from the who-needs-that-kind-of-pressure dept.

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."

Can the government really go after Google for aiding Chinese censorship and for NOT aiding US censorship AT THE SAME TIME?

The Bush admin is waging a war on porn
Stopping porn movies altogether is the only way to keep his daughters from eventually starring in one.
