Google faces more government demands for user info
From the Associated Press: Google faces more government demands for user info
From the article: “The highest volume of government demands for user data came from the U.S. (5,950 requests, a 29 percent increase from the previous six-month stretch); India (1,739 requests, up 2 percent); France (1,300 requests, up 27 percent); Britain (1,273 requests, up 10 percent); and Germany (1,060 requests, up 38 percent).”
Almost 6,000 requests in a quarter; you really think these are all terrorists? If you give your info to Google, or store it anywhere other than on your own computer for over 180-days, you lose all search-and-seizure rights, allowing the government to go on “fishing expeditions” any time it wants.
