Judge May Force Google to Submit to Feds
illeism writes "News.com is reporting that a California judge may force Google to give the feds at least some of the information it wanted. The feds may get some of Google's index of sites but none of the user search terms. From the article, the judge said he was 'reluctant to give the Justice Department everything it wanted because of the "perception by the public that this is subject to government scrutiny" when they type search terms into Google.com.'"
Just imagine what would happen if people decided to rebel, and started typing in useful search phrases over and over, while hosting web pages which had those keywords.
It's like a thousand al-Qaedas all at once.
That's how you deal with an intrusive government in Soviet America.

Probably someone from Justice Department asked something on a web forum and got standard "STFW" with google link. ;)
Some people should just learn to use google, not ask feds to force informations out of it, really...
No problem, Google can just move their servers to China to keep them safe from a government that thinks it needs to track every citizens activity.
All I can say is Never check your parents browser history.

Google's PigeonRanking is going to be totally screwed when the bird flu gets here.
