>You may recall that Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft received the same subpoena but did not fight the Feds in court; they instead quietly complied. Correction: Microsoft did not turn over the requested information. http://bokardo.com/archives/microsoft-didnt-give-user-data-t... “Today, Mehdi added some detail concerning what actually happened when the request from the Government was made. First, the Government had asked for information that could identify people on an individual basis (most likely, an IP address). Microsoft declined this request, and instead handed the Government a watered down version of data, which Mehdi made clear did not include personal information. The information provided by Microsoft, Mehdi said, consisted only of a sample of search terms and their frequency, as well as a random sample of pages in the MSN Search Index.” Just a minute of research would have led you to this, but of course, that would run counter to your pro-Google bias. |
