FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS GOOGLE TO GIVE UP DATA
A federal judge said today he intends to require Google Inc. to turn over some information to the Department of Justice in its quest to revive a law making it harder for children to see online pornography. U.S. District Judge James Ware did not immediately say whether the data will include words that users entered into the Internet's leading search engine. The legal showdown over how much of the Web's vast databases should be shared with the government has pitted the Bush administration against the Mountain View-based company, which resisted a subpoena to turn over any information because of user privacy and trade secret concerns. Larry talks with Eugene Volokh, the Gary T. Schwartz Professor of Law at the UCLA School of Law. He is an expert in internet law, and Pam Dixon, Executive Director of the World Privacy Forum, a non-profit public interest research center focusing on areas of technology and privacy.
