kiddie porn

"The Bush administration on Wednesday asked a federal judge to order Google to turn over a broad range of material from its closely guarded databases.

The move is part of a government effort to revive an Internet child protection law struck down two years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court. The law was meant to punish online pornography sites that make their content accessible to minors. The government contends it needs the Google data to determine how often pornography shows up in online searches."

"The government argues that it needs the information as it prepares to once again defend the constitutionality of the Child Online Protection Act in a federal court in Pennsylvania. The law was struck down in 2004 because it was too broad and could prevent adults from accessing legal porn sites.

However, the Supreme Court invited the government to either come up with a less drastic version of the law or go to trial to prove that the statute does not violate the First Amendment and is the only viable way to combat child porn."

only in bushzarro world would they assualt privacy rights in order to prove how much they love the first amendment.

"The government indicated that other, unspecified search engines have agreed to release the information, but not Google."

1) how long till google caves like the others? (imagine the competitive advantage if they can withstand the assault)
2) are we really to believe that the NSA can't get whatever they need already? we know that they have snoopers on the IP backbone.
