A federal judge has ordered Google to turn over 50,000 web addresses to the government, in an effort to fight child pornography according to the Feds. You have some good general points in your article, but this initial statement is not correct. All Google is providing the feds with is tracking information on the browsing trends of their users, no specific user information and nothing personal on the users. The current administration is very much pro internet privacy - one of their limited number of good positions. Dave

"A federal judge has ordered Google to turn over all its search information for 50,000 web addresses to the government, in an effort to fight child pornography according to the Feds." Maybe you should re-read the ruling. The judge ordered nothing of the sort. He ruled that Google must produce a sample of 50,000 web addresses from its index to the government, but specifically ruled that is does NOT have to produce any search queries related (or unrelated) to these addresses. After that ruling there's no privacy issue in this case.
