"Google will not have to hand over any user's search queries to the government. That's what a federal judge ruled today when he decided to drastically limit a subpoena issued to Google by the Department of Justice."
The federal Government demanded billions of URL's and two months worth of users search engine queries and plans use the data for a study in another case in Pennsylvania, worked the Bush administration is trying to revive a law meant to shield children from online photography.
In a 21-page ruling, Judge James Ware of the US District Court Northern District of California said the privacy considerations of Google users leading to deny part of the justice department request.

sorry i'm off the point, but is anyone else having a problem receiving Daniel's blog. I can't get it.
yes, I think that they are working on his server.
Thank you, bob
It was a good rule and I was in favor of Google. Besides, if the government wanted to go after the child molestors and perverts there are plenty that get released from jail, never go to jail after being convicted, and are secretly placed into family neighborhoods after too little time in prison.
There are also those in prison that use computers in prison to continue their lurking - using taxpayer resources.
If the government was really concerned about pedofiles, it would weigh in on these sick judges in Vermont and Ohio that don't believe that confessed child rapers deserve any jail time.
If they were really concerned about homeland security, they would close the border and find the terrorists roaming free in our country. They wouldn't incourage our biggest companies to move out of this country and layoff 100's of thousands of workers.
This is not a partisan issue, both sides are complicit in the rape and plunder of this once great country. God help us we need it.
I think we should 'google' the judge. Maybe that's what he's afraid of.
OK, so I 'googled' Judge James Ware. Titles say he is a liar and was reprimanded by his peers. Check it out!
