Re: Now your Google searches are up for scrutiny...

This is for something different. It's about pornography. The Supreme Court already struck this down. I have no idea what the heck they are pursuing it for. The Supreme fricking Court already said no so how can they?? I bet it's because Bush just wants to see if Cheney is looking at animal porn or something strange like that. I'm happy that google is saying no to them.

Bush administration wants details of what users look for

SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc. is rebuffing the Bush administration’s demand for a peek at what millions of people have been looking up on the Internet’s leading search engine — a request that underscores the potential for online databases to become tools for government surveillance.

Mountain View-based Google has refused to comply with a White House subpoena first issued last summer, prompting U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales this week to ask a federal judge in San Jose for an order to hand over the requested records.

The government wants a list all requests entered into Google’s search engine during an unspecified single week — a breakdown that could conceivably span tens of millions of queries. In addition, it seeks 1 million randomly selected Web addresses from various Google databases.
