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.'"

Yup. Google knew the Chinese people would "understand" if they caved in to their govt. without a fight, but knows in the U.S. we're not so complacent. So far. Bottom line is Google has no problem doing evil, as long as it doesn't hurt them. Hmm, kind of like Microsoft.
