Google stand could be good for business
Search giant's battle bolsters reputation on privacy rights
ANALYSIS
By Martin Wolk

Updated: 12:39 a.m. ET Jan. 21, 2006
Google’s decision to resist a government demand for millions of its search-engine records may not do a thing to protect the privacy of computer users, but it certainly boosts the company’s reputation as a protector of its customers’ rights.
For a company that declares its corporate motto is “Don’t Be Evil,” the decision to take a principled stand against the broad demand for information offers a rare opportunity to distinguish itself from its rivals
just as the issue of government snooping is heating up politically on Capitol Hill.
The search engine giant said Thursday it had refused a subpoena issued by the Justice Department to provide a factual basis for justifying an online pornography law that was struck down by the Supreme Court on free-speech grounds.
Google’s rivals Microsoft and Yahoo both complied with the request in some fashion, as did America Online, although the companies say they did not reveal any personally identifiable information about their users. (MSNBC.com is a joint venture of Microsoft and NBC.)
Google presumably could do the same thing and hand over a random sampling of 1 million search queries from a specific day and 1 million Web addresses from its database, which the government indicated it would accept after several months of negotiations... |

If Google lets the government in, it will be the quick demise of the company.
Their stock price is already plummeting since the news broke.

Keep on using your little Limewire app while the government, RIAA, the movie industry and everyone else that's keeping a watch on "illegal" activity continuously connects to your computer every minute or so.
Unless you're taking the proper precautions, "The Man" is probing you through every orifice you have.
The Gnutella network is so passé. |
