Google Ordered to Hand over Data
Created 19.03.2006 - 17:04

Well, Google is certainly making the headlines at the moment. This time, a federal United States judge stated that he intends to order Google to divulge user search and email records to the United States Justice Department. Fortunately for Google (and its users), the judge appears to have accepted Google’s request to confine the terms of the disclosure to only a small subset of the requested data. Although it is unclear precisely what it will comprise, it doesn’t look like any data will personally identify users. The Justice Department has also acceded to Google’s protestations, and has substantially reduced the scope of its original request.
