DoJ to Google: Hand Over Your Records
This is hardcore, grade A, fucked if you ask me.
According to ABC news, the DOJ is in the courts trying to get google to hand over their porn search records.
A federal judge said Tuesday he intends to require Google Inc. to turn over some information to the Department of Justice in its quest to revive a law making it harder for children to see online pornography.
U.S. District Judge James Ware did not immediately say whether the data will include words that users entered into the Internet’s leading search engine.
Hey, I know a great way to keep kids from seeing internet porn. Its called good parenting, fuckwits. Spend the same amount of money helping parents learn how to watch what their children are watching and you wont be eroding our personal privacy in the process.
Although the Justice Department said it doesn’t want any personal information now, the victory would likely encourage far more invasive requests in the future, said University of Connecticut law professor Paul Schiff Berman, who specializes in Internet law.
“The erosion of privacy tends to happen incrementally,” Berman said. “While no one intrusion may seem that big, over the course of the next decade or two, you might end up in a place as a society where you never thought you would be.”
This as always makes me very sad.
