Feds Demand Over 1 Million Search Engine Records January 20, 2006
Posted by alertcomputer in Articles, News.trackback
Big Brother is watching. It appears that the U. S. Government wants the internet community to “assist” them in what should be their job, online surveillance. In fact, it our friends in the Bush Administration want the search engines to hand over records of what the general public has been searching for on the internet! (yes, this means you!)
Google appears to be the only search engine that has refused to comply with the White House subpoena, which was first issued last summer. It has been widely and apparently correctly, reported that Yahoo! has already turned over such records to the Feds.
MSN won’t say if it has complied or not (draw your own conclusions on that one.). For its non-compliance, U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales this week asked a federal judge in San Jose for a court order compelling Google hand over the records.
The government wants a list of all requests entered into Google’s search engine during one week (for now) results that could include tens of millions of queries. In addition, it seeks 1 million randomly selected Web addresses from various Google databases.
The Feds say that they aren’t asking for any data that will tie search requests to personal data (okaaaayyy…). Even if that is true, personal data is not hard to get, and is often tied to search requests. And given the tendency of the Federal Government to completely disregard the privacy of individuals in order to advance its own interests, how can we be sure how they will be using the information collected?
Is it just me, or does it feel like we live in a dictatorship? That giant sucking sound you hear is your personal information going into a black hole.
