U.S. government wrestles Google for search records
The U.S. government is asking a California court to force Google Inc. to turn over information about usage of the company's search engine for finding pornography on the Internet.
The government says it needs those Google usage records to prepare its defense in a lawsuit brought against it by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). But Google is resisting.
Thus, U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on Wednesday filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California a motion to compel Google to comply with the government's subpoena.
The ACLU lawsuit, filed in 1998, challenges the Child Online Protection Act (COPA) law, which aims to protect minors from the effects of exposure to sexually explicit material on the Internet.
