George Bush Hates Privacy

Just as one would think that Bush and his administration would stop with tapping phones (which is severe on its own), here is another case of the government trying to get private information.
Now, as the New York Times and others have reported, the Justice Department is trying to get actual information on Google searches. Yes, all the searches that you and everyone else on the Internet have made.
The given reason: to prove that porn sites are too easy to access for minors. There is a law that has yet to go into effect due to court intervention. The law cites heavy penalties when a web site deals harm to a child, which includes porn. The courts has injected that filters can do a better job then the law.
So...now they're looking at something, in which is doing its job, and looking into your privacy without merit (there is no probable cause for EVERYONE) and for a law which already is iffy on 1st Amendment grounds in the first place. Thumbs down for the Justice Department.
However, Google is doing the right thing by refusing to cooperate. Yahoo has already confirmed themselves that they cooperated. You can start to see one reason why Google just can't be seen as an evil corporation: they just don't stab their customers in the back.
