ACLU will be the bad guy if they comply.
They will be fined (x milllions a day) if they do not.:
"If the Justice Department does win this case, Google is likely to face a
second round of subpoenas from the American Civil Liberties Union (Aclu) for
follow-up information. The Aclu is challenging the 1998 Child Online
Protection Act, which makes it a crime for a commercial website to post
material that some jurors might find "harmful" to any minor who stumbles
across it....
Aclu attorney Aden Fine told Ware that his organisation would "certainly need
to know"
additional information about how Google's search engine works, in order to
rebut the Justice Department study.
That information, he said, would include topics such as the number of servers
and the number of web pages indexed"

The whole anouncement (which was put out by inventors own

There is no way 'of finding a way to move near speed of light' for the first time
since we are all, whole Earth, moving at near speed of light
already (with respect to some remore objects, like quassars)

A common mistake is to consider 'moving at high speed'
to be a state of the object - like high temperature.
People moving at high speed (with respect to us) do not see
themself squashed into a pancake.
In 'reality' - they are not squashed at all.
