DOJ to peek into Google

U.S. wants to google ... Google
Demand for data on Web searches may spark fight on privacy rights

Google Inc. is refusing to obey a Justice Department demand that it release information about what people seek when they use the popular search engine, setting up a possible battle with broad implications for Internet privacy rights.


The government, which says its request will not result in identifying individual computer users, wants to use the information to resurrect an online pornography law shot down last year by the U.S. Supreme Court. It wants to search Google queries to see how often users inadvertently run across sexual material.



I haven't seen a clearer breach of public trust since Jackson refuted the Supreme Court and move the Cherokee's anyway.
