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.'"

    Oh Phleeeeasse Wiping its feet on the flag and blowing its nose on the Constitution.. This "government" if thats what you call it is more like wiping its ass with the Constitution and flushing it down along with human rights. If they spent more effort in helping people of the world develop, financially and personally by means such as encouraging employment through smaller and family firms the world wide rather than pander in the pocket of big business.. the REAL EVIL EMPIRE then they wouldnt have a security problem. You give the people worthwhile jobs they become the status quo, not hell bent on destroying it in a holy war with the west. At the end of the day, when we are all before God and shown the good and harm we have done and stand for judgement.. well I dont think they have much to hope for. Thats all I have to say for now, make the world a safer place, not a more intolerant one.
