Google Gives the US Government Access To Gmail

schliz writes "Google condemns the Chinese Government for censoring its results, and Australia for planning to do the same. Meanwhile, its lawyers and security experts have told employees to 'be intentionally vague about whether or not we've given access to end-user accounts,' according to engineer James Tarquin, hinting that Google may be sharing its data with the US government. Perhaps Australia's most hated communications minister, Steven Conroy, could be right in his criticism of Google's privacy record after all."

Moderator abuse - comment not a troll

[mrcaseyj]

I've gotten three troll mods for my comment, which was directly on point and not excessively incendiary. At least it wasn't any more incendiary than necessary to state the plain fact that the Chinese government is a criminal dictatorship, and that's why Google shouldn't give out info on political dissidents to China, but it's maybe ok for them to give info on criminals to the US. I keep getting hit by this possibly Chinese government moderator abuse. Somebody should strip those mods of their mod privileges.
