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."

    "To give equal say in governance to those who by nature have not the faculties of full reason, whether that be the weaker sex, the darker races or those misfortunates that nature hath cursed with a congenital imbalance of the humors, shall surely lead to the ruination of this nation. You wish to extend the franchise to females and negroes, sir? You shall, over my dead body!"

    Keep in mind the Democratic Party at the time was the "Party of Jim Crow"... so take your generalizations elsewhere. Thinking people don't want to hear it.

    Funny how I never mentioned either political party. Sounds like someone just outed themselves from behind their hood a little too quickly in their attempt to cover their shame.
